I have a weird problem with handcent. It keeps the pop up running in memory till i read the text, (i.e) If i don't read the text for 6 hours, Handcent drains the battery for six hours. :(

Yesterday i had got a text just after i slept , i woke up after 6 hours and found that handcent had drained 40% of the battery. And the "keep awake time" of handcent was 6 hours.

I know this issue persists on other phones also,

Click here.

Do anyone else have this issue on your Nexus s, I had this problem on my stock gingerbread as well, I rooted my phone and flashed oxygen and still the problem exists.

I am using Go sms atm. But i really like handcent , Anyone knows a fix for this.

I have contacted many developers for making some progress in bootloader unlocking. Most of them replayed that they are not interested in joining the old thread because of spamming....So I am requesting the administrators to provide one more thread which is locked to the developers working on the project (I mean only the developers working on this project must be allowed to post there)....The old thread can be used for contribution from other members...In case some new members have to be added to the main thread it can be done on the developers request... If possible please make some arrangement for our developers...

Doing like this may bring back our valued developers.....

But I think that it is not the problem, if they are annoyed with the spam, they should make this on another place, create something like they make on google to share their roms and there is an area to post the bugs. I don´t know if there is a way to make it private, but I guess it can be done :D

Do something that requires you to select a default application ( like opening settings then going to the home screen to select your default launcher), then set it as default and use root explorer to remove the apk file in /system/app/ - make sure that read only is off by toggling the button at the top.

I thought 3.1 Will bring 1080p hdmi support....but no...it didn't.....thrn I thought 4.010.40 will bring it(as per the changelog)....but still the same.....is everyone having the same issue or my tab exceptionly shows only 720p...!?
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
Running .40 version and 1080p hdmi out works but it is not smooth at all. It plays normally for a while then the picture pauses for a second then continue this behavour randomly.

Remember to play 1080 video file, so it will automatically switch from 720 to 1080.
[Acer Iconia A500] MrBoingy:
Ooh interesting.

I'm not too surprised if the tablet can't decode 1080p but do other stuff work ok with 1080p output?

ie how does it work?

Does the external screen act like a second screen running at 1080 resolution?

I'm more interested in 'normal' apps like QuickOffice or more importantly, RDP running at .. well, whatever resolution this thing can output at... 1920x1080?
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Unfortunately, they didn't put much thought into this (probably Nvidia's lack of foresight). The HDMI will only push 1080p video when playing a 1080p source, which it is hardly capable of doing. All other times it will be 720p.
[Acer Iconia A500] MrBoingy:
What's the point in that?

I can only assume that app developers will be able to specify what resolution their apps can output in.

eg RDP app devs can allow the app to output at 1920x1080... and NOT mirror the tablet screen.

Or maybe Angry Birds to be in full screen, rather than having to scroll sideways.

Surely it's not purely for video which it can't play anyway.

Just plugged mine into an external screen and I can't figure out a way to demo this new feature whatsoever.

Unless this update is for .40 only.. I only got updated to .38 this morning.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I believe .38 and .40 are the same....its just the different regions....
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Are you sure you were playing 1080p baseline-profile, not normal- or high-profile content?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Partially in reply to myself and to duongla: I just tried both with 720p high-profile and 1080p baseline-profile. Both are smooth as butter. Only 1080p non-baseline starts stuttering. As such I'd say he was trying to play non-baseline-1080p video.
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
Thanks. Actually I do not know what the profile is. Can you recommend what software to determine video profile ?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
No, sorry. I have absolutely no idea what software would do that, all the ones I have only show that it's H.264, they don't show the profile in use at all. Kinda lame. :/
[Acer Iconia A500] FireMedicDave:
I just bought an HDMI cable to watch netflix on my computer and I have an older HDTV, from 2004. It has HDMI input but it doesn't allow 720p for some reason so I get the little Android dude with the 720p bubble. How can I change the output to 1080i? Is there even a way. I'm running Thor's ICS v96.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
You can't force a resolution, the tablet tries to output whatever the content is. The netflix app will not do 1080i, at least as far as I know. I'd suggest figuring out why your TV won't do 720p. All the 1080i capable TVs I've ever seen could do 720p no problem.

(Also, this may have been better suited in a new thread, you bumped a 7 month old thread)

Many of us complain about the annoying problem of the pink spot, there are those who blame the white balance and who speaks of a hardware problem ... could you check if the lens is perfectly centered to your phone or if it is slightly off?
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
On mine it's off too. But it's no lens itself .. lens is the small circle inside. It's just some cosmetic feature.
[Galaxy S II General] bisat:
do you have the pink spoot too ?

I think that leads to a slight misalignment that causes the glare of the light shade of pink in the center...
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
The pink spot has been proven on device after device to be a software issue, not hardware. HTC actually released a hotfix for this exact problem for the HD2.

Besides, as Dr.Sid states, that's not the lens. It's just a cover.

Hi all.

I've over-discharged my stock battery and now it doesn't charge. It lights up green as soon as I plug the charger. I've tried different chargers but didn't help.

I've made this using short circuit so don't think it's related to Sensation. You may ask why :) I tought over-discharging may solve the touchscreen issues. Don't know if it's solved because phone doesn't open.

Do you have any advice to restore the battery rather that getting a new battery? I've already ordered new battery though.
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
Certain laptop battery manufacturers use a circuit which stores battery charge information, but is itself, "kept alive" by the residual current in (even a dead) battery.

I've seen the case on a number of times that discharging below the "allowed" level causes this circuit to fail, thus the communication between battery and device is incorrect, inaccurate or, at worst, not there at all.

(this is why there are more than just + - on your battery)

You could find the correct recharge rate for the battery - current and voltage - and charge it manually, and hope that said 'battery state circuit' comes back to life, but honestly, I think you'll be, as they say, SOL.

I've had perfectly good laptop batteries, holding a full charge, having a great discharge rate, but the laptop would refuse to accept it, just because of this little circuit.

WARNING: Charging / over charging / charging in a way other than in accordance with the original device literature can VERY likely cause the battery to fail completely,

including, but not limited to FIRE or EXPLOSION! DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. LiPo (and LiIon for that matter) are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS when used wrongly!

All the above said, have fun, don't blow yourself up, and let us know how you get on. Also, from a personal point of view, I'd be interested to know the 'technical reasons' behind the thought that over-discharging could solve the touch-screen problem - can you remember where you got the info originally?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
wtf? did you shortcut the battery or the phone? if shortcut the battery it my be blown. Anywyas you could try jump charging it, unplug and plug it in fast, or put it in a outlet which has a switch and try toggling it on and off for some minutes, you may be able to jump it up to the voltage it needs to start charge :)
[HTC Sensation] umd:
This is my second unit and it has touchscreen problems too. I'm not an expert but here is why I did that.

My phone was working normally and had %20 battery left. I went outside and didn't have extra battery or charger so I've used my friend's USB cable and lapto to charge it. After it reached to 44% I unplugged it and saw touchscreen issues started. I've searched and remembered some advices from XDA like discharging and charging may solve it so I gave it a try but it didn't help. Then tried over-discharging and charging but stock here.

What do you mean by charge it manually?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I did short circuit the battery :D I know sounds crazy but I'm sick of touchscreen issues. Are you saying that I may try connecting it an appropriate charger's output directly like + > + , - > - ?
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
I'm saying, chances are, it's wrecked. You shouldn't really discharge batteries by short-circuit - that puts massive stresses on the structure of the cells in the battery and probably completely ruins it.

It can also cause excessive heat, which can lead to nasty things happening.

Recharging the battery by connecting + to + and - to - is theoretically possible, however, to do this SAFELY, you would need to know the manufacturer's recommended charge rate, times, voltages etc. They differ greatly.

Do it too slowly, and you just result in a very inefficient trickle-charge, which can sometimes do more harm than good....

Do it too fast - cells in the battery become gaseous, the gas vents, and you have fiery explosions... also not good.

Seriously - I would strongly recommend against playing with it. If you want to see what CAN happen when it goes wrong, YouTube it!!
[HTC Sensation] Utking:

Insane amounts of energy stored in these batteries :)
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Yesterday I connected the battery which is stock 3.7 V to the my digital camera's charger which is 4.25 V, 0.25 A, 50-60 Hz with cables for 6 hours but didn't work. BTW, stock charger is 5V, 1 A and 50-60 Hz.

Can I try jump charge with this camera's charger? If I can, how fast should I connect and disconnect the cable?
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
That's exactly what I'm talking about.

It should be noted that the Sensation stock battery is LiIon, rather than LiPo, but the effects can be very similar, and just as disasterous if that happens when your battery is in the vicinity of.... anything!!!
[HTC Sensation] Utking:

Does anyone have this problem?

I was over on the Samsung Intercept threads on SDX Developers Forums and I saw the below thread linked from there. I figured if it worked for the Moment and the Intercept that it was worth a try on my WiFi only Galaxy Tab. And, IT WORKED!!!

The resolution wasn't great, the sound volume was low, and it was a little choppy...but it worked!! I just watched about 15 minutes of the movie Kick Ass to test it out and it was working!

I don't know if it will work with the GSM or CDMA versions of the Galaxy Tab because I only have the WiFi only version, the GT-P1010. I have FroYo 2.2.1 running on my rooted Galaxy Tab.

Credit needs to go to the original person that posted this. I did not develop this or have anything to do with it. I am merely passing on the information.
