Ok. I was running barnacle for the previous tests. Wireless tether for root was version 2.0.2. I uninstalled it real quick and installed 1.6 so my SSID changed back to G1Tether for this test. Here are my results

For the file you asked about; I cannot find it when browsing the file manager so I opened up the terminal in that location under root. Then used the "ls" command to show the contents of that folder. I cannot find the file you are asking about. Am I doing this correctly? I do not know many terminal commands.

You did it all right, I just made a mistake. In opensuse dmesg is piped to /var/log/messages not /var/log/dmesg. Small difference between gentoo and opensuse :p.

So try connecting with networkmanager and then posting the output of /var/log/messages. Hopefully that tells us what is going wrong.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentecho13:
Kind of new to the technical part of android here.

I have an Atrix running 4.1.8.3 with the following:

Rooted

Enabled Sideloading

SD Speed Hack

I have no other major system mods (no webtop mod, prom's, etc).

Here's my problem:

I don't want to lose my data/brick my phone.

How can I make a complete backup of every last thing on my phone? (Camera images, messages, ringtones, etc).

I have Titanium Backup installed that backs up apps, but is there a way to make sort of a "recovery image" or a mirror backup of my entire phone that I can flash?

Am I better off unlocking the BL first, and then flashing the sbf? (I know that this involves a factory reset in the process).

Or should I just use the OTA? My root, sideloading, and sd hack shouldn't interfere with the update, right?

Can I use the preinstall method to root my phone for GB, even though I'm rooted already? (Used gladroot)

I don't intend to jump into the custom ROM wagon just as yet, mainly because my job leaves me with no extra time to sit down and do it, restore my data, etc.

Today, I'm off though :D

Sorry for my noobishness, atleast I didn't post this in the development section :P

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] badwolf:
I had the original airwave and now I have the new one but it has intimittant call waiting failure....anyone else get this. Can't decide if more trouble than worth....(have multiple locations and phones on account) right now the new one is unplugged.Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
im aware of the call waiting problem. personally, i dont mind. its great for data. the first

AIRAVE

does not. fair trade off to me.
[Epic 4G General] cds0699:
I personally love the Airave 2 that I have, it consistently gives me 5/6 - 6/6 bars of cellular signal, and strong 3G inside my home (I'm not in a 4G area).
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Been sporting the old one for almost 3 years now...never had any issues with it. Love it. I thought about getting the new one but wifi works fine for me.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
There is actually a known issue with compatibility of the Airave and the Samsung Epic 4G. It is due to be addressed in the next MR
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
I upgraded to the new one, my only issue is how much more annoying it is when it beeps 3 times every time I make a call vs how the old one would only do it once so you knew it was connecting. Wish i could change that.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
That's part of the airave and that happens everytime. It's only three beeps. Big deal
[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:
Do you know what the issue is? My wife and I both have Epics and we use the new Airave at our house, and I haven't noticed anything. Is it just with the older Airave model?
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
Lol the old one beeped once :) just seems excessive to beep 3 times and obviously it isnt needed so in my perfect world theres a way to change it to beep once
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
No it's with both. I'm not 100% what the issue is exactly.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I never hear the first beep, only the last two
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I have the new AirRave and its so absolutely crappy. I mean, I love it most of the time, but then it will randomly go a week where I am unable to call a landline through it without it immediately giving me a busy signal. I can call other mobiles, but not a landline. And then it will sometimes just decide to stop working for an hour or so and fix itself. This happens several times a week. Its great technology, but I don't think its ready for primetime yet. It feels VERY beta. If I was paying for it I would have sent it back within a week.
[Epic 4G General] cds0699:
[dumb question] What is MR? [/dumb question]
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Maintenance release
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
The old one does two beeps.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Methinks I will hold on to the Airave 1 a little while longer... who cares about 3G when I have wifi.
[Epic 4G General] sceptor:
It does 3g and can connect more then 3 devices but generally speaking most ppl don't really need to upgrade for that reaso

Extended trail list (Freeze at your own risk):

DLNA 0709.69

I wanted to add this is definitely not for everyone nor necessary for everyone. This is a possible solution for 4.5.91 users who have experienced terrible battery performance with the leaked and/or modded builds.

Edit: Attached is screenshot of my last battery cycle. I would also recommend battery calibration.. you can find the app in the market. I find it works really well.
[Atrix 4G General] vjoom:
Thanks, will try it out.
[Atrix 4G General] Jack Krauser:
Also DLNA if you don't use it
[Atrix 4G General] Sinful Animosity:
Great! Thanks a ton! I also froze Home 2.3.4, as I use ADW EX/LPP
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Nice list. Cheers!

Would be nice if we could keep any additions to the list in the OP of this thread.
[Atrix 4G General] martyman19828:
Ill add recommendations. I would like to keep this list as short and sweet as possible to maximize battery life and phone functionality at the same time.

Keep in mind my 60 hours was almost all idle time... little to no use but still an extreme improvement.
[Atrix 4G General] dictoresno:
im on 3 days, 12 hours, 2 minutes and 10 seconds of battery life = full idle

im doing an battery calibration so i had the phone fully charged up to 100%, and have been just letting it set on my desk, wifi on, no SIM card installed.....slowly draining. i got 15% left now. this is without freezing anything. i imagine if i turned airplane mode on to cut down on the cell standby usage and wifi off, im sure i would get even more time out of it. freezing these apps doesnt seem like something i need to do.

[Atrix 4G General] demente911:
what are you guys using to freeze these processes?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Most people will be using Titanium Backup.

There are alternatives like Bloat Freezer, but TiBu is a must have app.

You need root to use it.
[Atrix 4G General] ratkid2271:
Titanium Backup Pro. You need to have the pro version to freeze bloatware. Once you have TBP, you select the backup and restore tab, then short tap on any item you want to freeze. It will then hide that item from the system so that it can't be used or run, without actually removing it in case there are problems.

[EDIT] I guess i typed too slow, looks like someone beat me to it :-P
[Atrix 4G General] primeboss:
The best free alternative is ether bloat freezer or what I use AntTek App Manager
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
Its the best $6 bucks you're ever gonna spend.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Bloat Freezer is not free:

Bloat Freezer Market Link
[Atrix 4G General] privatedoodle:

Don't forget also that Home 2.3.4 can be frozen if you're using an alternate launcher.
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
Q: if I use photobucket and facebook apps, and freeze the above list, will the apps keep all functionality? I don't care about facebook photos showing in my gallery, I have that turned off. For example, Pulse news app keeps a feed of facebook links, and I set up facebook login through that app. Functionality should remain?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
If you use apps, yes. They work for me.

Just froze the stuff in the OP. Does Titanium Backup Pro have to be running for these to be frozen after freezing them with it? Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] Fifow:
So i was checking out some running processes and services, and i found this process:

"Suggestions Poll Scheduler" ( com.motorola.suggestions.scheduler)

that started the services "PollSchedulerService" (been running since i turned my phone on) and "CacheUpdateRuleCheckerService" (gets started, runs for about 10 mins, 10 min delay until it is started again.)

Anyone knows what this does? It sounds like Motobloat... if so, is it safe to freeze?
[Atrix 4G General] asesino:
60 hours on a battery with no use(don't c a point on that),I rather have the 12+ hours that im getting now with heavy use.
[Atrix 4G General] h0mbre_au:
Nice list mate, very similar to what I've been experimenting with.

I've noticed after freezing Accounts, a noticeable gain in battery life and it doesn't seem to mess anything up. Make sure you create your accounts first before you freeze it.
[Atrix 4G General] privatedoodle:
When TB freezes an app, it renames the apk to something else (I don't remember exactly what extension, .bak maybe?) So the files are still there, but android won't run them as apps anymore. When you defrost, it just changes the name back and the app works again.

Somebody with more know-how than me might explain it differently but that's the basic idea... TB doesn't have to keep running.
[Atrix 4G General] aaronf6983:
thanks! about to give it a try. +1 for battery calibration!
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
Thanks. Best list I have seen yet. The question I have is WTF are Yahoo Auth and Mail connected in. I don't have yahoo anything, but if I freeze those, the stock contacts app will stop working.
[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
you have to freeze contactsdata and/or contactsstorage....then u can freeze the yahoo stuff. no worries your stock contacts will be fine...it's just blur bloat stuff.
[Atrix 4G General] crea78:
I froze one Motoblur app from quite a few I did, and I can't add any events to my Google calendar. Anyone know which particular app this could be? All the calendar apps are not froze, so it's troubling me which one it is.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
this is exactly what I'm afraid of. I've seen posts like above, also can't add contacts, or crashing with XYZ etc. as a result of freezing various motoblur components.

The original list seems to cast a VERY broad net. Is there a more conservative list that is 100% (or 99.9%) confirmed safe?

Also, I was mucking around and tried freezing DLNA in titanium. Guess what, after reboot the process was still runninG?!?!?! Has anyone seen anything like this.
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
There are two DLNAs, The App and system service. Did you get both? I haven't froze mine since I use it with my media server at home, but mine doesn't autostart with the phone either....
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
That didn't seem to work for me. Freezing any of the other Contact* stuff crashes the stock contact app as well.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
Bah I think I"ll just wait for ROMs to mature a bit more then go the full BL unlock/custom ROM. I guess thou that I don't have as bad battery as some people are claiming
[Atrix 4G General] con_ritmo:
maybe it's also quick contact too? the yahoo stuff is tied to a blur contact/sync thing which needs to be disabled before you can disable the yahoo....

i had to keep the yahoo thing active too till i read somewhere that it was tied to a blur contact process...and once i froze the "contacts sync" and "contactsdata" stuff it was ok to freeze the yahoo.

"contacts storage" i left unfrozen.

and i know you cant freeze email engine or you lose stock messaging.

also, i froze blur-res last...was a bit wary at first cuz i read that it would cause you to have to resetup your gmail accounts on another moto phone...but after reading holtencs post i froze it anyways and it didnt do that on the atrix...everything was fine.

anyhow, after reading this page here...

http://oxavelar.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/motoroi-x-with-4-5-591/

i got more aggressive and here's what i've frozen so far with full functionality for me...

mms, sms, contacts, calendar, sync all work fine.

(i dont use bluetooth, email, webtop, etc.etc.)

tailor to your own needs...obviously there are lots of other stuff you can freeze if you dont want it (like the updater stuff, other apps, widgets, wallpapers, etc)

and stuff you may need to keep thawed if you use those services (like the portal, email, webtop, docks etc.)

also, as someone mentioned...frozen things may still show up on the services page...or on a "system panel"-type app...but it doesnt seem to be used.

What is Setup Wizard and how does freezing that as well as Sim Toolkit and SIM Contacts affect the phone?
[Atrix 4G General] hiswayout:
That got me about another hour?! Nice thanks :)
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
Just as an interesting note, I keep seeing att garbage on people's lists (att code scanner, att familymap, att navigator, blockbuster). My phone doesn't have any of those. I would guess the immediate difference is that I updated via USB cable and motorola.com. Perhaps you can skip some bloat by upgrading from the website?
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
That did it. I made the mistake of thinking that ContactsSynch was somehow a android/google account thing. Once I froze that as well, I was able to freeze yahoo* and still have stock contacts work. I may still ditch it as the contacts app I installed to replace the stock has some nice features.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
All those AT&T apps were still on my phone after I updated through USB using Motorola Software Update. Did you remove those apps before updating? Maybe this update doesn't add them back.
[Atrix 4G General] holtenc:
Honestly I don't know what any of those 3 actually do. I just know that I do not experience any negative side effects by freezing them.
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
Actually that is probably the case, yes. I had rooted and removed them before the update. Rooting being the reason that I had to USB since the OTA didn't work for me.
[Atrix 4G General] cwburns32:
Few questions on things that can be frozen...

Can the following items be frozen?

Accounts 2.3.4 (I don't use MotoBlur accounts)

Accounts Storage 2.3.4 (same as above)

Corporate Sync Authenticator 2.3.4

Global Unplug 1.0

Messaging 2.3.4 (I use Handcent SMS)

Print to Retail 1.0 (No idea what this is)

QuickSMS 2.3.4 (What does this actually do?)

Setup Wizard 1.3

SIM Contacts 2.3.4

Suggestions 1.0
[Atrix 4G General] Banger_AK:
Global Unplug I can answer yes too, freeze it for sure. I have been trying to figure out what it does (because it sounds important) and finally did. It flashes the reminder to unplug your charger from the wall when you unplug your phone. AND IT RUNS ALL THE TIME.

Accounts 2.3.4

Global Unplug

Print to Retail

Setup Wizard 1.3

SIM Contacts 2.3.4

Suggestions 1.0

are all frozen on my phone with no apparent ill affect.

Messaging is actually the email/sms combo app that has the universal inbox (I believe). I have non-gmail accounts that I access through it, so I didn't freeze it. I also kept the corporate synch authen because I have another app I use to actually do that and I don't know if they are tied in together or not.

If that's the case you might as well got the whole hog and custom ROM, where someone has de-bloated it for you already
[Atrix 4G General] goofyj8:
I need assistance, I froze some of the apps from page 1 list using AntTek App Manager, aftwards AntTek App Manager stopped responding. I couldn't open up AntTek App Manager anymore. I uninstalled AntTek App Manager rebooted the phone and reinstalled AntTek App Manager again, now there is no apps listed under "frozen app". How do I unfreeze the apps that were frozen. I like to unfreeze picture editor. Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
No, I disagree. The old thread will cause too much confusion. There are vast changes and a new thread is more appropriate.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
New thread as in this one that starts with +/- 20 apps and everything else has to be added on top with replies while the OP is not updated? I don't think that's easier or better.

Unfortunately I won't have access to a PC for the next three weeks otherwise I'd make a summary from the apps in the old thread (the OP + a post towards the last ones by mramirezusa) + the couple of apps from here.

If anyone has time that'd be great..
[Atrix 4G General] martyman19828:
OP can be updated... I just don't see the point of freezing almost everything on the phone almost rendering it unusable. I picked the things most people that visit these forums probably don't use. I speculate there are also a lot of noobs here that don't want a complex freeze list that will just cause them problems.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
if you have your sim card out then thats a huge chunk of power usage that you are not including. you will not get that kind of battery life after you insert the sim card. without the sim card are you even past the motoblur login?
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
why not just post all apps that can be safely frozen with a short description so people can choose for themselves what they want to freeze. the old TB thread was good for that.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I think it's good to have a safe list for everyday users, then a list for the more daring power users with appropriate disclaimers.

There are some things like widgets that someone like myself will absolutely never use. And although it can be argued that those programs and processes will have very little impact in the grand scheme of things, many users like myself would like them identified so we can make that judgement call.

Sometimes the naming conventions are also extremely obscure. Some of those things can kill your phone if frozen but some are absolutely useless and it's hard to know what they are.
[Atrix 4G General] martyman19828:
I would guess that uninstalling that app would unfreeze the apps you had frozen, but if not, try re-freezing then unfreezing each app starting with the picture editor.
[Atrix 4G General] leo5111:
is the list 100% safe?? im not sure what i deleted but it killed my phone when you select someone to call it errors out when you go to dial thanks
[Atrix 4G General] beatphreek:
That's fairly old... Gingerbread has added a lot to it and the OP needs updated. (so does this one)
