[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexx210:
Well I meant the best profiles to save battery like when the screen is off set the cpu max and min to the lowest values. I basically just wanna know what people have found are the best settings for them. And I'm really not sure what you're talking about in the second part of your reply. Are those custom kernels? Also, does that mean there's no way to get scaling on the Atrix? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
I have 312 and 216 for screen off. I had tried 216 216 like some people do, but couldn't deal with the wake lag. Still have some with 312 but not as much. TBH not sure how much it helps battery but i think it helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexx210:
Thanks, I set that profile. Any other ones people can suggest to help with battery life?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavieroid:
I am using Faux123 kernel with CM7 on my Atrix 4G and after a quick look, i've seen that almost 75% of my cpu time was already spent at the lowest possible speed 216 MHz. So only downclocking the maximum 1000 MHz might help with the battery life, i guess, but will the effect on performance be acceptable for dialy use? I bought this phone for a dual core 1 Ghz processor, why should i use it like it is 600 Mhz? In the end it all depends on what and how much are you willing to give up.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mr.megi:
By a little tests and tries I got it fixed.

It doesnt have the CRT animation.

And there is a bug:

If you get a message(or any icon on the left side of the statusbar) and then you scroll the statusbar down the date will show over the message icon , you can still see the message icon.

Apply through CWM Recovery.

Download it here.

Only tested on VillainROM 2.0.

If you like it use the thanks button :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kryptoner:
Hey is it there in VRTweaks? I can't see the screenshot... :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KLoNe1:
How did you get this working? I've been trying for ages in the UOTK without success :-(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mr.megi:
It worked by modding the statusbar xml.

Instead of the icon there was the black color used.

Hi ,

thanks to share it , but are you sure that they are the new version?

The name of the last version was also v10c
[LG Optimus 2x] fajarep:
have you check it, i mean check the date, it always show as 10c(already more than a month i think)
[LG Optimus 2x] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
maybe it's for version 10 co continues for the former, it is certain that at least have added p990H not if I could extract information to be able to get decent kernels for this new version at least as the CM
[LG Optimus 2x] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
I fear, continue to be old, ie not valid for the latest version, not whether the model can be extracted p990H something positive
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
I downloaded it earlier this week and the file dates are from february in the zip file. Newer is the source for the US released P990H, but nobody knows the exact differences.
[Galaxy S II General] markbaker.avalon:
Hi all,

I have been tinkering with connectivity into my corporate network and so far been able to get a connection to our Office Communicator server via ASProxy and a secure wireless connection. However I am looking for a solution that works across my 3G connection via a VPN.

I have looked at the market place versions of OpenVpn and I cannot get it to work with our Cisco Gateway. I got stuck at the tun and adb part, so not sure what I need to do at this point so though I would ask the experts on here ;-) There has been much work on a very important missing part which was a user authentication proxy, so the next bit for me would be a means of connecting to an IPSec/UDP Cisco VPN Gateway that works with my Domain username and then a fob generated password.

Any help from you guys would be most appreciated and perhaps I can share my ASProxy configuration for anyone wishing to get their's working....

Thanks

Avalon
[Galaxy S II General] coudu:
Hi,

you can't use an OpenVPN client to connect to a Cisco (IPsec) VPN server.

If you want to connect to an OpenVPN server then you can use OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings from the market.

If you want to connect to an IPsec server then use the built-in android VPN client or even some proprietary Cisco client from the market... (don't know about these as I only use OpenVPN)
[Galaxy S II General] markbaker.avalon:
Hi, thanks for the reply, however the built in VPN client will not work with our server. There is a Cisco anyconnect client that does connect, but we need a license for it which we dont currently have.

I will keep trying....
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
There seems to be an issue with the stock browser not remaining idle in memory after I press the home button

This seems to happen when multiple pages are loaded. In idle, the stock browser continues using CPU!

Anyone experiencing this?:(
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
How do you know it continues using CPU ?
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
By looking at the stock task manager!

The CPU usage ticks away for the browser
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
So close it with Task Manager, what's the problem? Stock browser doesn't have an exit option.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
The problem is, why would I keep monitoring the program to see if it is using CPU power if it is supposed to be idle?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well if you stop from Task Manager it will not be idle.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
Android task killing is not recommended, so what gives?! :p
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Now what does that mean? You have to exit it from Task Manger when you don't need it, pressing home button will never close it.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
I know... but I was under the impression that manual monitoring of apps that are supposed to be in idle is unnecessary as people who advise against using task killers say that it is actually better for the operation of the Android OS as a whole, and killing apps is bad, since when home button is pressed, the apps actually lie dormant and do nothing

The issue now is I noticed the internet browser is still using CPU power, when it is supposed to be dormant. Of course I know the task manager can kill it, but I try not to kill the program!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Mate I am amazed by your thought. Some users say that don't use ATK or 3rd party Task Killer apps, but they NEVER say don't use the in built Task Manager. Jeez man, you don't wanna Exit an app because of some technical comment, unbelievable.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
The point being I don't wanna keep checking the task manager to see if the stock browser is using CPU power, that's the whole point of how Android is supposed to work, that is, if the app is in the background, it is supposed to idle and not consume power!

Just wondering why is it the stock browser is consuming power when it's supposed to be dormant :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Well .. try to have the browser in background overnight .. and then check the battery statistics how much battery it did consumed over time ..
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
If you have background downloading set to ON in Android settings, and if the browser is on a site that's set to auto-refresh, it'll keep working in the background. That's by design and completely normal.

If you don't want this, make sure no auto-refreshing site is active in the browser before you send it to the background, or simply disable background downloading.
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
A lot of people advice against killing applications with task manager for good reasons, except for ill-behaving applications of course. How have you managed to miss those threads?

Killing an application prevents the "exit"-routine in the application from running so it cannot do want it wants to do when it shuts down (maybe storing settings/data to flash etc). Killing applications with task manager in Android is like killing applications in Windows with the task manager, something you shouldn't need to do.

So the question is if the stock browser is ill-behaving or if this is a normal behaviour. If this is just for a short while and then the browser stops using CPU then this isn't a problem.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
If an application won't exit correctly when stopped from task manager, it most probably won't exit correctly when the phone is being turned off. Does it mean you can't turn the phone off ?

This is actually true for windows too.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well buddy I really can't take the comparison between a PC and a Mobile phone. A PC never has a battery problem, neither RAM problem, if 1000+ apps are running on background, which exists on Mobile phone. I listen to Music while playing Crysis 2. GS II is a powerful device, a damn powerful one, but comparing it or it's Task Manager with a PC is kiddish IMO.

Anyway, I just meant to OP that he/she should press the 'Exit' option in Task Manager after it gets minimized to completely close the Browser.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] thekit:
agreed! would be very interesting to see how much does it consume overnight! :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
Sorry, but the task manager in Android and Windows are very similar in more or less every way. And regarding "A PC never has battery problem" makes me laugh, have you heard about laptops and netbooks? With a CPU with 35W TDP in a standard laptop it is pretty important with well behaved applications in a PC as well.

I remember when I had problems with Word on my PC and often had to kill Word, I got tons of backup files laying around in my folders, and I often had to deal with the annoying document recovery at startup, you get similar unexpected issues with Android applications. It is easy to get corrupt files and end up in strange applications states if applications aren't able to shutdown properly.

Killing the stock browser is an ugly work-around, better than doing nothing if it drains the battery a lot though.

So my point is that this is an interesting thing to investigate, this is after all XDA, we should understand if the stock browser drains the battery or not, and also understand why (for some reason Flash comes to mind...).
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
on nexus phones when i minimize the browser with multiple windows open, then monitor CPU usage, it is dead flat using zero cpu. so there is definitely a problem if the SGS2 browser is doing something. dont listen to anyone saying to just kill it with a task manager. that's not the point. are you supposed to kill the browser 30 times a day everytime you are done doing something with it? of course not, that's insanity.

my suggestion is to monitor the browser 5 minutes after you minimized it and see if it still continues to burn CPU. my hunch is that after a few minutes it should go to zero usage.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
this is completely wrong. the stock browser will NOT auto refresh in the background. it is specifically coded such that if you are loading a webpage and switch to the homescreen in the middle of loading, the web page will finish loading and then the browser will remain frozen and not do anything until the next time the user returns to the browser. this is well documented.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
I can confirm it uses CPU. Opera does exactly the same. But both are just occasionally ticks. Nothing like 10% all the time. So I wonder how much CPU it takes over time. It might just take few seconds until it's in full dormant state.
[Galaxy S II General] thegodth:
My SGS2 has same problem too but I use samsung task manager to exit the program.

I suggest you do as Dr.Sid said. Try to have it in background running overnight and check the result when you wake up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlabat:
Hi All Im a newbie in this and also in the Transformer. (I got it last Saterday). and I found the limitation of the Ad-Hoc WIFI sharing :mad: ....

so after reading I found that there is a "way" to unleash the Ad-Hoc option.

I just want to activate it, without change the Android version,, there is any way for it ??

Im in the 3.1 Android Version Official.

and I would like to keep having the Asus releases for some time but Activating the Ad-Hoc.

Can you Help me ??

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
i have an htc hd2 (winmo) which can only create an ad-hoc access point so i'm in the same boat as the OP and afaics. (i have searched this forum and others), my options are: root the transformer and apply the supplicant mod, or install android on my hd2, neither of which are ideal solutions for me. i'm hoping asus will sort this out with their next major update.

if anybody knows of a solution which does not involve rooting, let me know. or perhaps a way to create an infrastructure AP in winMo?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebound821:
Some days ago I had this same issue and I did a strange thing: Hit the search button :rolleyes: .

Step 1) root your tablet. Follow this link for the guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714 . (You are only installing root, you aren't changing your rom)

Step 2) install a modified wpasupplicant : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093778 .

You should make a full backup with nvflash before doing anything : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129308 .

JD82 in this thread uses the linux version of nvflash; you can download the windows version frome here: http://androidroot.mobi/2011/06/13/nvflash-on-asus-transformer/ and follow that guide (linux commands start with a "./" , windows/dos commands no).

For the Asus updates : you will be notified for the update. However seems that if you update (ie the latest 8.4.4.11) you will loose root. You can refer to the latest pages of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714 .

[Optimus One, P500, V General] dominican2589:
I just got my Thrive about a week ago and am noticing that sometimes text messages are 4-6 minutes late to my phone. I dont think I have a problem sending. What usually happens is I get sent a text but I do not receive it. The person that sends it to me then sends me another one asking why I havent replied. Then a few minutes later I get them both at the same time. It is very hard to keep a conversation with this issue. Can anyone help me? I am not using any of the sms replacement apps at the moment. I did but once I noticed the delay, i got rid of it to make sure it was not the app's fault and now it still happens

[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Do I have to format the SD card while installing new roms?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
NO, you do not format your sdcard as that is where all of your data for you updated rom is stored. If you format it, you will lose the rom and any other data that you have. Then you can not flash.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Iceman248:
I resurrect this here thread for a follow-up question. Is there anything that should be deleted from the SD Card when installing a new ROM. Our phones keep quite a few folders and files on there, so I wondered if any might conflict or something with a new ROM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Nope! If you like start clean, copy everything from sd card to PC, then delete everything on sdcard.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Anything that needs to be deleted should be handled by a data wipe in CWM.
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
Previously an app called "Roam Control" used to need root access to be able to work.

Then the Dev. of that app announced that he will work on something so that HTC phones do not need to be rooted anymore. Which is exactly what happened. HTC phones don't need to be rooted anymore to be able to use that app.

My thought is that perhaps he contacted HTC in an e-mail stating what his app is and what is does, and they allowed him permission to be used without root????

And maybe another developer can check through that app to see if they can figure something out?

I don't know. I'm just spewing out an idea.

It just seems odd to me that the app doesn't need rooting anymore.

Hi!

I'm having issues to use 3G on my phone! I read something about some people playing with RADIO.

I'm using this rom:

Branding: Retail Brasil

Version: 0.50.0 Full

Android Version: 2.2.2

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: 6.69.0

Wich RADIO can i flash to solve 3G issues?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsouza:

I've tryed to configure with APN BRASIL, but don't work!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsouza:
Ok, now I see it's vivo (I replied from XDA app, so I didn't see your info :P)

You can't connect? I'm vivo too and configured with apn brasil, it should work. Maybe you've got a faulty unit.

Here is my apn:

apn: zap.vivo.com.br

username: vivo

password: vivo

mcc: 724

mnc: 11

apn type: default,supl

This last config I manually added "supl", it looks like it improved performance, but it works without it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsouza:
It's because you've set the wrong MCC and MNC for your network... but remember, APN Brasil should work fine. If not, I would say something is fishy there, maybe the simcard or the phone itself...

Hi,

Totally new to Android had my O3D nearly 2 weeks now and on the whole very impressed!

One thing i'm not happy with is the speaker quality, do they have poor quality speakers or does mine have issues?

Its very tinny, and distortion/crackle is heard even when not too loud.

My Iphone was always very impressive for playing music/games/films with its basic speaker with clarity and even some bass giving a good all round sound.

The O3D on the whole makes the iphone like a Dinosaur though :)

Thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
It varies a lot. I have experienced what you describe yet oddly at other times it works fine. I think it may depend on the App itself you are using.

Personally I consider it overall pretty good, certainly had a lot worse. At the end of the day, they don't expect you to use the speaker for watching movies (if they did it would have stereo) and the quality of the headphones jack is awesome.
[LG Optimus 3D] syclonesjs:
Yeah i do realise its not ideal using basic speaker just wanted to know if it was just mine.

Noticed it quite a lot while watching the Apprentice final on Iplayer just now it was hard to listen to and i wasn't watching alone so headphones weren't an option.

Not a deal breaker but its shame its not a little more punchy i guess.

I'm having some issues after a MSU update to Froyo (Telstra AU) with my bluetooth. Disconnections and HIGH CPU usage.

I want to try some different sbf versions to see if its just Telstra Froyo.

I've tried upgrading to NOR 3.4.2_177 fixed SBF with the associated Nandroid but still have the same issue.

So 2 Questions.

1. Nor 3.4.2_177 cg31,39 have value 4, same as Telstra 3.4.2_145.

So if I flash the FULL 3.4.2_177 SBF will I be able to downgrade to Telstra 3.4.2_145 if required by flashing its full SBF?

2. When you flash a Fixed SBF your not flashing the System image, does this mean any changes to drivers (in my case bluetooth) will not be changed?

i.e. Am I wasteing my time flashing with fixed SBF's to solve a bluetooth issue?
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
I know this probably shouldn't be in the General Section but I just want to help people out! Beware, The HTC Sensation does not have proper gorilla glass, gorilla glass does scratch but not that easily, today I handed over my phone to some friends and I saw them using the phone very carefully but when i got the phone back there were BIG scratches here and there on the screen! Whoever hasn't bought a screen guard PLEASE do so and remember NOT to buy the glare screen guard, but the Anti-glare one. The glare screen protector doesn't work that well under the sun and most of the time you see yourself rather than the UI on the screen even in full brightness. The Anti-glare protector works PERFECTLY.

And also guys, please help me out. The scratches are really minor but irritating. The aren't visible when holding the phone normally or looking at it from the front but when i tilt the screen I can see them. Would getting a screen guard help? Would it hide the scratches?

Sorry if this has been posted already..
