Oops I posted a new thread before I noticed this. I'm pissed too. I used it with my car stereo and Zune. I used to be able to control music easily at a glance while driving (using cradle). Now it's too much of a process and dangerous. I also liked keeping it on while charging (why do I need a locked phone at home, sitting right next to me, not drawing power from battery?) What genius made this decision!
[Venue Pro General] MikeDupp:
I have yet to find a single benefit for the new firmware on my phone. Seems exactly the same to me but with the Never option removed. I think I may try rolling it back with the Zune backup.
[Venue Pro General] tbvnz:
The Dell tech I spoke with in India actually told me to re-sync the phone, factory reset it and sync it again (at least that's what I think he said, I had to ask him to repeat himself several times as I don't think our English dialects were compatible). I'm afraid to try this. He also offered to send me my third replacement phone if this was unsuccessful. I think I'll just live with it. I'm so tired of dealing with Dell. According to my logs I've clocked in well over 7 hours of phone time with them. I try to remain loyal to Microsoft, but I think it's Android time. I feel so embarrassed when my buddy uses his Evo in my presence.
[Motorola Droid 3] Deafdan02:
If you enter ##7764726 (##PROGRAM), along with the SPC code 000000 (six zeroes); you can check out some stuff to program the phone settings (although I believe this holds true for all verizon phones?)

Haven't looked at all the options yet, but wanted to share this :cool:

As always, anything you modify here is at your own risk, and by doing so you accept said risk - I take no responsibility for the consequences.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
I just stumbled across the same settings while looking at old threads to improve Droid X call quality, hoping some might apply to the D3.

Having had a look around the settings there's one that should improve call quality - goto "Test mode->next->next" (phone will warn "failed to get CDMA RX diversity" - no idea why but this setting seems to fail every time and cannot be set). Then select "service option->EVRC-B". Then hit back a lot to return to the dialer. This switches the voice codec for calls to a newer version, using less cell bandwidth and resulting in (hopefully) better quality audio.

The only other setting I've used is setting P_REV to 09 (was 06). As far as I can tell this has had no effect tho (I'm on vodafone in UK if that matters).

[edit] wikipedia says this about P_REV_01 to 06:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IS-95

And this on P_REV_07 and above :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA2000

Which means P_REV_09, should give faster CDMA connections, providing the local network supports it.

[/edit]

Disclaimer - messing with these settings is not recommended, don't do it if you can't take the consequences.
[Motorola Droid 3] krazykrivda:
In reference to the programming menu.. The test changes for EVRC-B do not hold. They are either reset randomly, and deffinitley after each reboot. I think this might be a lsot cause on the D3, unlike the other Moto Droid's.

I have found some use with resetting phone numbers and such when 3G has been borked for unknown reasons.

Im a power hungry person and this battery goes 2 days (: with background data on!(:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
i tried the official htc/verizon extended battery but it took twice as long to charge it and only lasted about an hour longer then the original. i ended up taking it back for a refund.

and unlike most people who use their phone for calls/txts & will leave it sitting around for long hours, i do not do that. i'm constantly either browsing the web, watching a video, or streaming music. the only time i don't have the phone doing something is when i'm sleeping.

i usually have to charge my phone 2- 3 times a day.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z06mike:
I purchased the official HTC extended battery and it is WELL worth the money! With

use it will easily get you through a day. With moderate use, 2 days for sure. With light use it might get you 3-4.

I unplugged my phone yesterday morning at about 7:30-8 in the morning and right now and 4:13 p.m. on Wednesday I still have 29%!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z06mike:
There is no way! The extended battery EASSSILLLY lasts twice as long. You must have had a rogue app,widget, or ROM.

i had it when i had my 1st Thunderbolt, it was stock(never rooted it), no widgets(used launcher pro), already knew about all the battery saving tips & had watchdog on making sure nothing was eating up cpu.

+ 1

I have been searching everywhere for how to do this.

I have an evo 3d and this is one of the only threads I could find about it on sense 3.0

From what I have read it is in services.jar what Smali to edit and what edits to make are what I am trying to figure out.

There are a few guys that have done it but with no real explanation of how.

I guess my next step is to pm one of the devs and ask directly because comparing files isn't giving me what I need.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
+1 on this, I would LOVE it if this icon could be hidden.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
Couldn't you just do it by way of theming and create a crystal clear .PNG that shows up instead of the location thingy? Its always at the very end of the icons up there anyways, might as well just trick the phone into thinking it's displaying something.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwned3:
I think I read somewhere jermaine had accidentally done it and was figuring out how he did it. There's a thread in the development section.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Correct, he did figure it out, and twenty minutes later I was able to figure it out. I actually asked him to review what I'd found, crazy coincidence there. There's a couple of ways to do it, here's the way I did it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyaarawala:
My unlock button on top of my desire HD gets stuck when I push it...I just noticed it yesterday, and I believed it occurred as a result of dropping it a couple times. There is no apparent damage on the screen or anywhere, but when I push the unlock button, and then want to push it again, it goes to the Power Off/Restart menu because it's been pushed down for some time. So when I push it, it gets stuck in, and takes a few seconds to come back out, and gets very annoying.

Is there any way to fix this? Or anyway to replace the button w/out harming the phone's internals? Thanks.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CJ_:
The reason I ask is because I live in Australia and I've got my mind set on importing this phone for personal use. I'm 95% sure it will work with the network bands here (UMTS Band I - 2100). I also know Walmart are offering this phone for USD 539 (outright) and I can probably get it shipped to me via a forwarding company like priceusa or shipto.

My only concern is whether this device will be unlocked for me to use here? If locked, how easy (or hard) is it for me to unlock it from here?

Many Thanks

CJ
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
From what I've read so far, the retail devices are being shipped/sold S-ON. However, S-OFF is usually only a matter of software reworking so you should be able to do that from anywhere. Mine is coming today I'll let you know if it's S-ON or S-OFF but it'll probably be S-ON. I figure if we give it a week or two devs will fix all of that for us and we'll be able to run just about anything on this puppy!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nccu_eagles:
I think he means SIM unlocked so he can use another carrier. This phone is definitely SIM locked and will take a few days before websites offer the unlock codes.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CJ_:
Yep, I was talking about the SIM. I'm prepared to wait a few days for the codes. My only concern is having to speak to T-Mobile directly to get an unlock code.

Ahh well, I guess I'm waiting a few days then. Will keep a close eye on this beauty.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
if you can be even more patient, we'll probably have some form of subsidy unlock that won't require an unlock code in the coming days.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilliduck:
I'm looking to mod the brightness settings that appear in either the power control widget or the notifications widget. Specifically I want to either add or edit one of the current ones so that I have a auto/90% (or some other % of my choosing). The closest one now is auto/dim/100%, but that's one more step than I need. Sometimes the room is just a touch too dark and the light sensor is causing my display to be too dim for whatever task I need. Anyone able to lend me a hand as to what I need to edit (if this is doable, which I see no reason why it shouldn't be)?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I honestly don't know of any way to get a truly "custom" level (like 90%) in the notification dropdown settings. I know with CM7 you can select what brightness levels it will toggle between. You can also control brightness by sliding left or right on the status bar. MIUI also has a brightness toggle in the dropdown menu, when its not on automatic there's a slider for screen brightness.

[General Questions and Answers] Baka no Kami:
Bought a Xoom recently and one of the major things I'm using it for is to watch movies and TV while I'm at my desk. I'm playing the files straight over the network, but I'm finding a lot of my files won't play (using MoboPlayer) They'll open, play for a half second, then close. Going into Mobo and forcing the software decoder for the file works about half the time. Seems like most of the time it's just a minor error in the AVI that's throwing the player off. I can open the it in avidemux, just save it to a new file, and the new file will play fine. I've got several hundred movies and tv episodes on my file server at this point, so it'd be difficult to fix those one at a time with avidemux. Can any one suggest something else to use?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
You could try transcoding one to a mobile friendly format like MP4 using Handbrake. If it works without a hitch you can batch transcode all of them if necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] cherry198810:
As a common sense, AVI(DivX, XviD) is not a friendly format for Android. To play AVI movies on Android is to change AVI to Android compatible formats like MP4. To achieve it, you can use an AVI converter to encode AVI to Android friendly MP4 and then transfer the file to your Android. Handbrake is a good suggestion and Brorsoft Video Converter is also a good one.
[General Questions and Answers] Kunnievic:
Can't agree more, I think you'd better encode AVI to Android format before playing the videos.

[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:

Yup, the reason I'm wanting them was because I tried out cyanogenmod and that was one of the things I really liked. The notifications page was a lot cleaner and a lot more useful.

Unfortunately, cyanogenmod had one problem that was a bit game breaking for me - headset mics wouldn't work. I've googled the problem, seems like I'm not the only one with it, but there's no real fix for it other than to wait until the next release or to try out nightlies.

Hi wildfire users,

my girlfriend got her wildfire yesterday.

The first thing I've fine, was to root it and check the standby battery drain.

It was between 27 and 50ma in AIRPLANE mode, without sometimes at 120??

My device got 1-2 in airplane and 3-5 without.

Thought it would getting better after flashing cm7, took the rc1...not really.

Any suggestions? Iam an experienced android user, but my options are running out, what else I can do.

What I've done:

Checked drain with current widget,

checked partial wakelocks with spare parts-seems okay.

Uninstalled all custom user apps I had installed.

Read here, that reflashing the radio fixes some issues...didn't tried that yet.

Any other ideas?

What drainages do you've got?

Waiting for your answers.

Edit: perhaps it will help to let it charge it to 100% and check again...maybe let it also discharge one time ^^.¿?

....think i was perhaps a bit over motivated...:)

Jan
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Battety drain will be above normal just after flashing a ROM. You need to make a full charge and then go to recovery and wipe the battery status.

Then do few complete charge-discharge cycles. Then it will be definitely better than stock rom. And use CPU settings in smart way. Work on the minimum setting and governor. Also depends on other factors like live wallpapers etc..,
