[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
look in about phone battery use to identify the biggest battery user, it should be the screen. anything else and there is a problem.

the cell standby may go high on froyo rom, turning on flight mode and turning it off will correct that, it's an android bug.

on gingerbread the android os or android system may hog battery occasionally. some think it is the wifi sleep policy but it pops up on me without setting the sleep policy. the fix for that is to pull the battery for a couple minutes and put it back in and restart the phone.

next manage the screen brightness

install a custom rom, there are issues with certain firmware keeping sensors active wen they shouldn't be.

turn off unneeded sync options (i find that auto fetching my email uses a lot especially with my gmail already set to sync),

use wifi when you use the internet if possible, turn it off when out and about.

monitor cpu useage of apps that are cached in the task manager

kill apps that use cpu

if needed turn the max cpu clock down to 800mhz

set "use wireless networks" for location when possible for general location (limited to city level at times)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Actually, high cell standby is OK if the phone is screen-off often.

Cell standby is always my top user - but my phone is sitting on my desk with the screen off frequently, in a location with weak signal. Weak signal makes cell standby usage go WAY up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iOSlulz:
Syncwifi application is awesome for extending sync settings to gain more battery

Using titanium backup I froze drm content 2.2.1 and this significantly increased my battery life.

Sent from my Infuse. It is what it isn't.

JuiceDefender!!

I agree JuiceDefender works!! I had to charge in the middle of the day. Now with moderate use it will last all day :p Im on stock Rom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Nathan777:
I easily get 2 days out of my Infuse, no idea how some of you are managing to only get 8 hours. After rooting my phone and freezing the bloat i easily get twice the battery life of my prior iPhone 3GS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Elemino:
I never seen the info about this in the Battery Usage, but the biggest draw of power I've found other than the screen is Facebook. By default it is set to refresh its info every 1 hr. Just changing that to Never helped a lot. It refreshed when you go into the app anyway, and you get push messages if its setup right. No refresh needed when you're not on the phone.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
Is there a quick way to snap a screenshot? I enjoyed this on my iPhone.

Like holding down the menu key or something similar.

I'm rooted btw.

If you stick around, CM7 is putting it into future builds through a long hold on the power button, then assuming it'll be an option in the list!
[Vibrant General] Sc0rp10:
I know there are a million threads out there on bricking and odin and download mode and I have gone through almost all of them in the past 2 hours but I havent been able to find the solution to my problem.

I was odining back from trigger redux to JFD when the phone got stuck at flashing factoryfs.rfs. I hadnt checked repartition before flashing. After 20 mins of being stuck i disconnected the phone from my laptop and rebooted it.

It booted up to the pc and phone download mode screen. Since then my laptop running windows 7 64 bit is unable to recognize it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and restarted the machine a couple of times.

I have done multiple battery pulls to try to recognize the phone on windows and tried all 4 USB ports but it wont be recognized at all. As soon as I connect the phone to the laptop, it boots up to the pc and phone screen which means the phone can detect the pc but the pc cant detect the phone.

I've tried using the original samsung micro usb cable as well as a nokia micro usb cable which i usually use for charging the phone.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I do not have access to other windows machines at the moment.
[Vibrant General] Sc0rp10:
i just noticed that if i pull the battery while the phone is connected to the laptop, the phone and pc download screen stays on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtmercutio:
So I just switched from the midnight rom to the urban regeneration and my wifi tether is running hella slow. I still have the data service governor killer zip on my sd card, (from a long time ago lol). Anyone know, before I back everything up and try this, if it works on newer roms?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
honestly i dont think it ever was..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
I think I recall reading it was built into at least one kernel, but that was back in the DK28 days.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
It should still work, although iirc it was a modification to android.policy.jar which was probably changed from eclair to froyo. It may need to be reworked.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
It was definately stated that it was baked into some old DK28 ViperROMs. I was wondering about this lately with the decrease in data speeds in SoCal
[XPERIA X8 General] Jambo_1991:
When downloading an app, how can you check it's status? I.e. how long it has before it's fully downloaded.

Reason I ask is I feel there may be a problem with my market place....
[XPERIA X8 General] orangzeb:
drag status bar down, there you go...
[XPERIA X8 General] Jambo_1991:
See that's what I'd have thought....

Thing is, it says your item will be downloaded, then nothing happens?

Any idea's what could be wrong? Anyone?

:confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] orangzeb:
then u got a prob, what rom you're using ?
[XPERIA X8 General] Jambo_1991:
It's fine now cheers, searched google and turned out the problem was I had to change from googlemail to gmail.:)
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
{Over a twentytwo hundred views- i seem to have struck a nerve. Alot of us had this problem- then I solutioned it out for us all}

Says [ROM] in the title but theres no rom to be had????

You had this experience lately? They make you Click here... click there. These guys make an XDA member play whack a-mole-look-for-the-rom link games?

Because of proprietary registration requirement :confused:some featured roms:confused: on this page cannot be downloaded by XDA members. Why is this being allowed?:mad:

XDA set up a perfectly reasonable system that worked JUST fine. WE DON'T NEED 50 websites to sign up for!!! - to get roms. All we need was XDA.

A few groups think they are entitled to change XDA(to its detriment) into their *****. Post links to these roms I'll put them here. We need to break these folks out of this habit. They say it isnt against XDA rules for them to do this- well then it wont be against XDA rules for me to post them

right in this post at the bottom of this post.

Its what ANDROID is all about. Open Source.

Mik and this Sac's Kingdom rom and some others cant be downloaded.

(I like their roms- since I'm trying to download em-duh)

Has money changed hands? what is the deal?

Why are these roms --

that we can't get unless we register

on their crappy webpages-- featured on XDA Android Rom page? WTF?

And for all the sychophants, buttsniffer brigade and scene kids- racing to their rescue-::rolleyes:you see their troll comments in abundance::rolleyes: If every rom you ever download you need to sign up for their proprietary page- why do we need XDA then?

If this continues- XDA is cutting its own throat.

I won't use a rom I have to sign up elsewhere to get it.

(So please post mirror links to Mik Roms and Sacs Kingdom Roms so the rest of us don't have to register)

XDA set up a perfectly reasonable system that worked JUST fine. WE DON'T NEED 50 websites to sign up for!!! - to get roms. All we need was XDA.

This is a game changer.

I understand the sychophants and scenies will do what ever they are told.

But XDa had it right and these people are messing up a good thing- tryna make it their thing. And I call bull****!.

And this isn't a Q&A.

This needs to be addressed by XDA

- or we can just post links and nobody would be mad.

We just want straight-up Rom links!

If two guys do it- MIK and SACS

to drive traffic for their own websites

- it'll be prevalent in a week.

And

XDA

will not have any relevance.

The buttsniffers, sychophants and scene kids say- it only takes a minute to register

over here,

then

over there

,

then here

and

here too!

yeah!

and there and.

..- blah blah blah.

What you gonna do when synergy or Kings or ACS or -take your pick- does this same thing?

And all the rest of them do it?

This needs to stop NOW.

Hit thanks if you agree with me...
[EVO 4G General] lui22:
I agree completely so I am willing to give up this second post on the thread for what you guys need it for
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
No -rom development that doesnt lead to actual roms dont belong here

Asking why XDA allows this isnt a Q and A- these lames are taking up space that actual developers offering real roms can use. This practice needs to stop and wont be put in a lil box elsewhere. All these guys are doing with tacit XDA approval- it seems- is promoting proprietary webpages that take people off XDA. To their site. They offer us nothing but a registration elsewhere. They are just taking up XDA space and tryingto get XDA members onto their own webs.
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
I agree.
[EVO 4G General] selders59:
Damn it sounds like some folks got sour milk in their cereal. All of the sites you are complaining about are "FREE" to register on and do not ask anything or for any money from you to get access to their links. So if XDA admins don't have a problem with it why should anyone else. After all it only takes about 60 second more out of your day.

"Hell I don't know"
[EVO 4G General] mexiking713:
+1 completely agree.
[EVO 4G General] the noan:
i got no beef with signing up for something to download any of these roms. my phone is nothing without these devs, and i will get the roms from wherever they want to post them. if i had the time to sit down and tweek a rom to the way i like it i would but i dont. taking the extra 2 minutes to signup for another site is pretty ok with me
[EVO 4G General] TheSocalGuy79:
If you want the ROM take a couple of seconds and sign up for free on the developers site. Simple as that. Just be lucky they link there site here for us to get the ROM in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] snxxxxx:
Both rom are my favorites!!

But never complain about how to download it..

Dont be lazy..
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
Oh gee- we get to look around on each new proprietary website for 15 minutes to sign up for something we dont want! The way it was was fine- these people are making XDA irrelevant. I don't want XDA to become irrelevant.

I want it the way it was and these people need to change their practices. XDA people need to get their head out of their asses.
[EVO 4G General] TheSocalGuy79:
Talk about taking up space. If your not happy here then feel free to move some place else. I've never had any issues downloading a rom on this site, 99% of the time I don't even have to go to the developers site to download the rom. They are doing this for us for free and your whinning about how to get the ROM?
[EVO 4G General] phantom92:
Holly crap.. i was just thinking this today..

I want to download sacs new sense 3.0 rom but i have to register.. anyone have a mirror or straight link to his rom..

Great job to them for making this rom but cmon..
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
Haven't used a mik rom or any rom I need to sign up somewhere else.

Won't use a rom I have to sign up elsewhere to get it. XDA set up a perfectly reasonable system that worked JUST fine. We don't need 50 websites to sign up for- to get roms. All we need was XDA. This is a game changer.

[EVO 4G General] Ninja25:
when someone who built the rom and spent HOURS to do and YOUR complaining because he wants you to become a member on his site (WHICH IS FREE) where you can probably find more cool stuff about the rom you want. stop being lazy and selfish. #bad.
[EVO 4G General] Estimated Prophet:
Oh no! Something different than i'm used to! The only response is rage!
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
Go elsewhere? Thats what I'm trying NOT to do

I like XDA just as it is. I DONT want to go ELSEWHERE: to someone elses website to sign up for their stuff. I want to stay at XDA in a system that worked just fine.

Kinda toolish to tell me to leave XDA "if I'm not happy"... thats kinda weird logic- I want to stay on XDA- not leave it to go to proprietary websites. You need to take your pills.
[EVO 4G General] TheSocalGuy79:
Your whinning!
[EVO 4G General] supralover72:
Or you could just do what I do and not use the Rom. If they want to link to their hard earned site for their hard earned credit, let them. I don't want to register, I don't download, and I let everyone else be happy and merry and move on with their lives.
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
I think I want XDA to stay like it was and not become merely a quick cover page for 50 proprietary websites. I don't want to get in a troll/flame war with some nobody. I just want up and down links to roms(like its been). And i'm saying that if your frauding XDA just to post web page links for your own stuff- its you who need to "go elsewhere".

Given your recent posts in aamikam's MikRoms thread, prior to this thread, one can logically presume you are complaining about aamikam's posts.

aamikam has just over 2600 posts, joined in October 2008, and actively maintains a thread related to the MikRom download.

He is following the rules. YOU however, have disregarded them...

hey bro this is taking up room if they dont ask for ss# or any kind of info that could put u into jeopardy.. idt this is a big deal at all.. without these devs i wouldnt want a smart phone.. so if the admin lets it go we should too
[EVO 4G General] Unknownforce:
This. 100% this.

You ask... a QUESTION... in the developer section... even blatantly call it a question, and yet say it doesn't belong in the Q&A section... Use more logic.

Not only that... You're also suggesting that XDA has some kind of control over where developers post their ****... They don't... They have control over what is posted

ON XDA

, but not where developers decide to post their own content... They can decide to remove posts if they like, but they can't FORCE developers to post direct links in their posts. The developers could simply say **** it and not post on XDA then...

If you don't like it... too bad, that's the way it is and has ALWAYS been. Quit wasting people's time please, posts like this are not development material in any way shape or form. And noone cares to see the flames here...
[EVO 4G General] rsmith675:
Cyanogenmod has been doing this FOREVER and those guys have about the largest following of any ROM on xda and :eek: xda is still here and no disrespect to any dev here but i seriously doubt mik or sacs are gonna be the downfall of xda
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
Cyanogen doesnt make you register for a damned thing- stop lying.

Cyanogen doesnt make u register for a damned thing.

On his rom linked page- is a real live rom. nobody gives a fig where the ROM is hosted- your whole arguments a stupid strawman.

Nobody cares where its hosted- we want a rom when we hit a "link for a rom"

These guys make you sign into their Websites.

Stop lying dude. Like every member of XDA doesn't know. This isnt the tea party dude- we are all thinking beings here.

Stop lying- it only makes everything else you say irrelevant.
[EVO 4G General] blizzard1017:
Cyanogen has been doing this from day one. I have had many phones across a few platforms and a few carriers this is common practice and will never change.

EDIT: correct CM is not a registered link but it's still hosted elsewhere.

I understand your frustration and don't want to be in the "attack" bandwagon here but let me try to give a valid reason.

Lets take Miks rom for example and some of these might not be MikRom fact related but it's the name I used so go with it.

If you click on the xda dev section you will see a multitude of roms, some Miks, some Synergy, Some Myns some kingdom ect.... Pretty overwhelming huh? Now if you click on a certain rom that interest you you will find the 1st few pages info on the rom and a link to download. But wait?! this links me to another page???!!!! What on gods green earth is this about?? Have I been hacked?!

No, calm down. THIS thread on the devs site is a dedicated group to THIS rom. You can discuss THIS rom more clearly with the actual dev and you can click one page back and find a plethora of themes and add-ons for THIS rom and discuss them there. It's really a convenience to you if you sit back and look at it. Also, at times THIS thread will have the update a few days prior to XDA for some controlled testing among the Roms fans. As a flahoholic this is the mecca of it all cause you can boast about the cool new update that very few people have AND be among the few that HELPED to improve albeit a small part but still..... The ladies don't need to know how small your part is do they? ;-)

Another scenario is that some of these Roms are collabs and it's just a bit more convenient to host on a smaller more dedicated site where they have FULL control over content and the click of the button.

I agree, sometimes when the Roms go crazy from a new release it gets a bit annoying but all in all it's not a bad thing. Honestly, most of these sites I haven't gone past the rom I have downloaded so IF they are tricking me to their site I'm not falling for it lol. Sometimes I am actually glad there is a separate one because some of these XDA threads go entirely to fast for me. Synergy I think I got in on page 6 and woke up 6 hours later it was at 100+.

/.02
[EVO 4G General] ncadden:
Why don't you scroll up & read the rules yourself?

Seriously, do you think if somebody comes up with a kick ass ROM, like Synergy is, or even in the situations you're talking about with those 2 ROM's in particular, that nobody's going to download them & just go to their sites to discuss them instead? You think they'll all become some hidden secret that nobody knows about, or do you think maybe that THAT would wind up becoming the death of XDA, b/c instead of everybody still talking about those ROM's here, they'd be split up among a bunch of different sites?

This isn't Nazi Germany, dude. If people want to link to their own free sites so that you can download their ROM's for free, & they're following the rules XDA already has in place, who the hell are you to to throw a little hissy fit about it?
[EVO 4G General] _Burst_:
Hahhaa...

NoireLion, you are a ****ing idiot and a baby. I thought the military was supposed to make you tough.

What a disgrace.

Ps. It is people like you that make others pull their stuff from XDA.
[EVO 4G General] sayazs:
wow...inconsiderate much?

these guys made the rom for you...all they ask is for you to sign up for their site so that they get more traffic which helps with ads and such. they're doing this stuff for free so the least you could do is go to their site and increase traffic.
[EVO 4G General] steve97ta:
The Devs make Roms in their spare time, they still have lives outside of XDA. Its a sign up on a website man, they don't friggin charge a penny for all of us to have awesome phones! Donate ring a bell?
[EVO 4G General] fergie716:
Lol well said.

My advice?

1) have a drink (if your underage-Mt Dew, if your of age- Nice vodka with Cranberry will do just fine)

2) Look around your surroundings, notice the beauty in the little things

3) Find a good girl (I'd say woman, but I don't think your ready)

4) Bang. Bang til it hurts

Then you'll come back to this and realize that flashing ROMS and complaining about registration is not a big deal.. Actually, it's one of the most insignificant things in your life.

This should work.. Don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik too
[EVO 4G General] steve97ta:
LMAO!!! @ Don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik too
[EVO 4G General] Heaterz16:
Nice OP...Let's tick off the few remaining devs for the EVO 4g because you are too lazy to register on their sites. They still update on XDA, so you don't have to follow anything on their sites but the download link.

I will agree it is a little annoying, but definitely not worth complaining about the people who keep our phones current. Hopefully, this thread is closed soon and the devs don't get mad and drop the EVO 4g development altogether...
[EVO 4G General] yamaford:
Look around on there sites. See much traffic? The traffic is still here. Are the advertisements on there site? Guess who pays the bills. Guess who has to show how many users they have to get paid? I don't mind signing up for a website in exchange for not donating. I'm broke but love what the devs do and think they should get paid for it.
[EVO 4G General] Unknownforce:
Alright guys, Seriously, I think the guy gave up, and, for his sake, I hope he has learned a lesson here... so lets clear it out, this post has lived too long already... Let it die gracefully.
[EVO 4G General] SoraX64:
Consider yourself lucky that the developers even post links to their work here. If you don't like how they do it, don't use their work. Dozens of other people still will. No loss at all.
[EVO 4G General] rsmith675:
so you ok with roms directing to an outside page as long as you dont have to take time out of your day to register

[EVO 4G General] _Burst_:
Awwwww, and I was just about to sign into my other account and bash the hell out of him! >:D
[EVO 4G General] noirelion:
So we should change the whole of XDA to give traffic 4them? Seriously?

If they did it like cyanogen does it- link offsite to actual roms nobody would be pissed.

But they are makin us sign up for their whole package and thats taking advantage of XDA- using it like its toilet paper and spits in the face of the community we have all grown to love.
