I'm in the minority here.

I turn my Tab and Evo off every night, the phone just before bed. It save a bit of batt life and unwanted calls in the middle of the night or any alert tones as I'm a pretty light sleeper. I've also been doing this for probably 7-8 yrs with all my smart phones (Symbian, Win-Mo, Palm, BB and now Android).
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Sometimes I turn it off at night, sometimes I just leave it on. It's definitely on ALL day. I haven't really seen it losing much battery if I leave it on overnight, but I don't have it configured to sync frequently. Whenever I notice the battery is getting a little low, I charge it up again -- don't really have a set pattern or routine that I charge it.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Anytime I know I won't be using it for twenty minutes or more, I just shut it down.

Not sure there is a right/wrong, good/bad way to do this, as it's pretty much a personal preference thang! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
If I'm not gonna use it for more than a day, sure.

I also turn on airplane mode when I'm reading via Kindle or anything else that doesn't require wifi.

On a semi related note, does anyone else find the screen is too bright if you're in a dark room reading, even if you have brightness on the lowest setting?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
So far I never see any difference to turn AIRPLANE MODE on... but anyway some people believe so... let say that work... hu hu hu

well

to answer I never turn off my tablet, neither turn off the wifi

I try to not use AUTO brightness, set brightness to medium.

I will turn it off... well... actually I do not.

to muqali. on lowest setting? on dark room lowest setting I think it's fine (but I have an antiglare screen... that dim the light)
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
Not use it for more than a day??

That is crazy talk! I'd suffer some serrrrrious withdrawal :p

On to the question, no, my tablet stays on 24/7. The closest it gets to off is booting into recovery, but then it's right back on.

All my backups, security scans and cloud syncs are scheduled for the wee hours of the morning so wifi stays on at night too. Also, my iconia is my alarm clock, which is very useful for a shift worker who needs different alarms on different days.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
only if the battery is low and Im to lazy to go charge it :)
[Acer Iconia A500] lilirose:
I only turn my tablet off in order to reboot when it freezes up or gets laggy (maybe once a week). The rest of the time, it's on standby or being used.
[Acer Iconia A500] lynxznet:
I leave it on sometimes, other times I will randomly turn it off. I mean, its not a phone.. no reason it should be on 24/7. I don't even leave my PC on 24/7 - as it saves a lot of electricity to turn it off.

My phone (Droid X) however, stays on 24/7 =P
[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
Yeah, I've been leaving mine on and its been just fine. I notice it turns off wifi or I guess at least disconnects when the screen is off so I'm sure that helps. At nights I guess I can turn airplane mode on and that should help. I'm impressed though with the battery so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
I always turn it off when done, unless I know I will be using again in a short.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I use the Nook app as my eBook reader instead of the Kindle app. The Nook app has a separate brightness control within the app, and it allows me to turn even the white page brightness down to where it's very comfortable to read even in a pitch dark room. The nice thing about this is when I'm done reading and exit the Nook app, the global brightness settings for the tablet are restored so my dark wood wallpaper isn't too dark.

I'm not sure if the Kindle app has its own brightness control or not, but it might be with looking into.
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
yes, I noticed too, it's too damn bright, but not as bright as my phone, on the good side screen comparison between iconia, transformer, zoom and ipad2 the iconia gets praise cuz it's super dark black... you can notice easily (like me) if you're in the dark and look the status bar
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I do not. I don't really ever turn mine off actually, except if the battery is at low and I'm out and not able to charge it, but that rarely happens.

I don't turn my PC off either. Turns out it doesn't save as much energy for me vs. time. I'd save roughly $90 a year if I diligently turned my PC and HTPC off...my PC however serves as the file server for everything in my home and I'm also very random in terms of bed times so it would cost me so much time (and maybe some parts issues as well) turning it on and off every time I needed to use it.
[HTC EVO 3D] g12345:
First off thanks to all the devs, great work on cracking the boot loader I am very excited. My question is this: I never updated to the OTA update with new Wimax and Radio, is there a simple .zip file that I can flash through recovery / fastboot that will update me to the latest OTA version without having to wipe and set everything back up? I apologize if this was posted somewhere else, I have searched this section and not found an answer to this. Thanks for any help!
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
hi guys,

since i installed MIUI half of my games dont work...

for example: Zombieville starts and when the company-logo comes, i'm in the homescreen again, without any FC or something...

i used catlog to see the errors, but i'm not a developer, so this says nothing to me - maybe someone know why the error happen ?

Zombieville v1.0.4:

Pottery v1.0:

i got this error on hardly every game :( :(
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Try using a task manager and ending all tasks and then launching the game, i had a problem like this with plants vs zombies a couple of time the memory was full and it couldnt clear it quick enough so it just ended it and when to homescreen with no error.
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
thx for the reply, but it still doesnt work :( :( :(

maybe someone know what sort of error it is ?
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
noone know the error in post 1 ? :(
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
The input pipe fd has been closed by someone. Either the window has been

closed so the client correctly closed the fd, or something in the process is

accidentally closing that fd when it shouldn't, or the process crashed and

the fd got closed by the kernel.

Try reinstalling the game and launching it again or try a different rom, its most likely being caused by the rom. My guess is your on the 2.3 gingerbread rom which is always going to have random problems untill lg release an official version.
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
thx for reply :) :)

yes, i'm on gingerbread - a custom-made MIUI, which i get from a forum ... but it's strange, i restarted the phone 3times and then the game zombieville worked again, without closing itself

reinstall didn't work, also move it to sd-card or internal didn't solve the problem ...

i also think that it's a bug of the ROM, maybe i gonna send an email to the developers and hope they can fix it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
have you tried it with chainfire 3d from the market???
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
thx for the tip, i've already installed it... but it also didn't help :(

[HTC Sensation] WhiteSites:
I used to have an HTC HD2 with Typhoon cyanogenmod. I loved the Email client that came with that rom. Is there any way to run the Cyanogenmod email client on the Sensation? I don't like the appearance or the functionality of the stock email client.
[HTC Sensation] WhiteSites:
Just wanted to update everyone on a viable option I found. K-9 Mail ( free in the App Store ) is almost identical to the Cyanogen Mail Client. I actually like it more too. Only gripe is I don't like the icon ( dog head ) Is there anyway to set this program up to use the standard email icon?
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
You can edit the .apk file,there is a thread on that
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
Or you can use desktop visualizer
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
I go to personalize, widgets then setting and it's blank. I'm try to add widgets for WIFI, GPS and Mobile Network. Anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Nope....all there on personalize-widgets-settings. After getting s-off and root did you go overboard with removing stock apps...or did you flash a custom ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
Stock rom. I guess I will do a factory restore and redo s-off and re-root.
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
I don't know where to post this but ill put it here. The problem we have with the headphones jack, where the sounds cuts in and out, its it a hardware problem or software. If it is software is there anyway DEVS can builds roms with something stopping this from happening. And please don't say headset blocker that **** don't work. I'm driving and my sounds just cut for no reason at all and I can't do anything about it. Unplug, turn the widget on/off, start music, stop diff app nothing. Is anyone having this problem as extreme as me? It sucks waiting for it to play when it wants
[HTC EVO 3D] Xencer:
I know what you mean, I've had it pull up voice commands/call people/change songs if you even just slightly touch the aux cable. This only happens in my car, I haven't reproduced it with headphones. I'm on my 2nd 3vo for this and the problems are even worse on this phone. Sometimes it will scroll through all of my songs really fast or play a whole song in fast forward.

I think it might have to do with the cable since my headphones don't do it, or it could be a voltage change/sensor problem that detects when you pull the jack out it turns the music off, could just be going haywire.
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
Bump?
[HTC EVO 3D] shortyboy:
Have you tried installing another music player? For ex, winamp? Just trying to help and isolated the problem.

[HTC EVO 3D] SpyFi:
I repair cell phones and its one of two things. One the copper contacts inside the jack are bent. If one does not make contact and will not play or only play on one channel thus one speaker works the other does not. The second is your headphones are damaged or of low quality. Try different pairs. My skull candy set sucks. I doubt software although if your modding or installing sketch apps its possible. One possible fix is to take a q tip and 90 % alcohol and clean the jack. If there is gunk on the contacts this will fix otherwise hardware. Hope this helps.

[HTC EVO 3D] mrjkwik:
Install headset blocker from market.

It is a toggle widget you put on your homescreen

Enable it when you plug in a cable.

This should stop the random control issues.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jusdecitron:
Hi,

I need to restore a file from "/sdcard/me/libmedia.so" to "/system/lib/" because my phone won't pass the LG logo.

I booted in recovery, linked with it with USB and launched "adb shell" on my computer

"cd sdcard"

"ls"

and there is nothing listed

I tried the same in "/system" : I find only "bin"

It's the first time I use adb so I'm not sure I'm using the right method.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
Mount sdcard and system from recovery :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jusdecitron:
Thanks for the reply.

How am I supposed to do that ?

I don't see a menu for this in CWM 3.1.0.0

EDIT : i tried "mount /sdcard" in adb shell but it is not working :

can't read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
On recovery with adb shows no folders for me too.

But there is option to mount /system from recovery menu than using adb shell will work also if you are able adb on LG logo adb shell shall work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] franciscofranco:
Recovery ->

mount sdcard

-> done.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jusdecitron:
On LG logo screen i have acces to /system/lib so i took the file on the sdcard with another card reader and then pushed it to /system/lib. It works.

I will try this, i need to find out how to do it.

Thanks all for your help :)

Hi, I'm rooted and I just got an alert to download an update! Is this normal?
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
Never take an ota when you are rooted, thats the rule of thumb. It won't hurt now because both versions of the hboot are unlockable using revolutionary, but i would suggest flashing a rom that's based off the ota.
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
this particular time, go for it :)
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I guess im confused as to why I'm even getting an option to update
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
Because your stock rooted. If you were running a custom rom you wouldnt, but on the stock system everything is the same except for root access and whatever you saw fit to change.
[HTC EVO 3D] jajuan:
am I correct in assuming that there isn't any custom rom yet for the evo 3d yet. I'm on the temp perm root
[HTC EVO 3D] Mediocrates:
There are already quite a few custom roms on the Dev page already, and it's still below 24 hours since unlock and root. Read the [ROM] posts and chose one to flash, after you Revolutionize.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Ah, thanks, I get it now. I guess I never used a stock rom after rooting.

I will click thanks when I'm at my computer :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Yes like he said this time is ok. We don't know if the bootloaders will change in the future though, so you can update to get back to the newest and start using custom roms from there.

Personally if I can stay stock rooted and just keep using the HTC updates I would.
[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
sweet, thanks! are you planning on staying stock?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin^Tan:
Here's what happened

i put full body protector on my tab using soapy water

my tab bricked for several hours until i use hair dryer to blow dry it

somehow, it's on again

and then i change rom from BOCA to Overcome Jupiter, coz of external sd problem, and video playback

successfully changed to Overcome when I notice in system widget that my tab temperature was around 8-10 celsius, back then it was 27 - 43 celsius max

I tried charging from AC and its slow like hell, status said discharging, just now I'm using my laptop usb for charge, and it said charging (AV) and battery percentage did go up even though I use my tab for playing video

what the hell happened here?

because of the soapy water that bricked my tab for several hours?

or because of unproper downgrade from BOCA to Overcome?

I tried to restock using v5, but my laptop doesnt detect my tab anymore when I connect it via USB

so I cant even use odin to reflash to stock

anybody can help?

I'm really clueless here

please, any help will do

thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin^Tan:
nobody knows? I desperately need help now, I'm changing rom to rom and now its stuck, can't boot, on recovery cant mount E:, and I cant do anything anymore via CWM and I can't use odin at all. I'm a bit worried >.<

connecting usb through download mode still doesnt work

is there any hard button for factory reset mode or sumthing?

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] PoXFreak:
Anyone that thinks I may be right should "thank" me for this post...

I see 2 problems keeping development down on this device (Raphael)... :(

1. Memory mapping has to be done. I see no progress in this area. If I had the proper GUI or even DOS program I might be able to help. Of course, lack of development could be related to...

2. Noone really wants to pay to unlock their phone for development reasons. I can understand hard work, but MTTY and Task2a aren't really all that hard to use.

Thoughts, ideas, complaints?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Are you talking about flashing to NAND?

A few RHOD devs have started it, and it seems BLAC has picked up a new kernel dev and they have it booting to about he same state as all GSM RHOD's (no service..)

I would like to see NAND on all devices, but in reality a dev with each device needs to take up the cause... No dev with a RAPH has tried AFAIK. I would certainly love to facilitate any flow of knowledge necessary from the RHOD NAND project. I'm certainly not a developer on the project, but I do help with testing and I work closely with the devs (as closely as I can :p)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] PoXFreak:
I am speaking of putting it on NAND. Seeing as we have squeezed an entire install plus data and apps onto a Kaiser, I'm fairly sure we could get a working build pretty quickly if someone could port the Kaisers kernel and change the memory map.

I propose this...

1st partition for kernel, no more than 5mb in size. The kernel we use on the Kaiser is only 3,092kb, so this would fit even if we had to add anything to the kernel such as accelerometer support and FM radio drivers.

2nd partition for /system files, just to keep it relatively close to the kernel partition. This one could be set to 128mb to allow the larger builds room to "breathe". Also, the extra drivers needed for the extra hardware will need room, hence partition size increase.

3rd partition will need 32mb for /cache. One of the drawbacks to running Android on the Kaiser was that if anything failed and the phone crashed, you would lose data. This was mostly due to having a live cache partition built inside the /data partition.

Scooter1556 has found a way to make a 20mb partition using part of the /data partition. Yes we lose 20mb out of 110, but the gains in stability and data integrity are well worth it, and newer builds of Android require a 30mb cache partition.

4th partition for /data. Do the math; could you fill 347mb of data on your WM6.1-6.5 phone? Not music, not movies, actual data? Apps from the Market, your contacts, text messages (if you save them), and anything else related to data? I couldn't, but that might be from running a phone with 40-50mb available for data...

I might be pissing in the wind but I think it's quite possible to do, just don't see much demand for it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
If you're willing to do it, so be it. It's just not easy and there aren't many devs with the device - I think everyone (well, mostly everyone) would prefer to be rid of WinMo and just boot Android... but that's a big task, converting from HaRET...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] PoXFreak:
After doing some much needed research, I found out something..

The HTC Dream/G1 uses the EXACT same processor, GPU, LPDDR RAM, phone controller, BT, WiFi and GPS module as the Raphael.

Whats missing, you ask?

A trackball and memory map to match. The Raphael actually has better specs than the G1 and I see cooks building roms based on 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) for that device.

There are a few extra keys on the keyboard which need mapping (swipe from HaRet version, maybe?), and the trackball would have to be converted to a D-pad. Everything else matches!

May not even need to build a kernel, the HTC Dream Dev edition has their ROMs' and radios online... I already downloaded them and will play more tomorrow.

(Crossing my fingers)... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Good luck. I'm not sure that stuff is identical & translatable directly, but have at it - just be careful, when playing with NAND there's very special portions of the memory that you should not touch, lest you have a brick.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] PoXFreak:
Again, MTTY is not very hard to negotiate, and since the processor is similar to the Kaiser I should have no problems there.

I am looking into the "boot.bin" file right now to see where the signatures are and to see if there are "way points" for the memory mapping.

Will report back soon but I also need to grab the memory map from the WM6.1/6.5 build ROMS, so it could be an all-day affair...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Rome wasn't built in a day.

Good luck! I wish you well :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] PoXFreak:
Got the memory mapping done, just have to figure out how to post to the kernel and figure out how to CID unlock without PAYING for it...

Memory map as follows:

Code:

457.75M (0x1c9c0000) DSK1:

| 3.12M (0x31f000) Part00

| 4.50M (0x480000) Part01

| 126.50M (0x7e80000) Part02

| 323.63M (0x143a0000) Part03

I wish l1q1d and scoot were looking, this is about as far as I will get without help.

Raphael & G1 screens

Does the G1 also have the same screen than the Raphael? That could help fixing the "never sleep" problem that arrrghhh said on this discussion.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] PoXFreak:
Different screen but same exact GPU...

Dream G1 is 320x480 @ 16BPP 180.9 Dot pitch and uses Qualcomm Adreno 130.

Raphael is 480x640 @16BPP 290.3 Dot pitch and uses Qualcomm Adreno 130.

The "never sleep" issue is only a command, but that command also slows the core speed of the CPU down to save power as well since the GPU is also controlled by the CPU. The problem with not waking up is because Android has a wierd way of holding the panel command on or off.

P3 Droid (a clock speed mod) had a way to not only overclock but underclock the Droid. In an attempt to port this to the Kaiser it would fall back but never return to full speed, locking the phone up and requiring a soft reset. Once I restored my build back to normal it went back to a somewhat normal operation (back then we still had kernel issues and alot of other bugs).

What I need now is a full phone unlocker for thr Raphael that doesn't require an IMEI number... anyone have one?...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
So for that (among many other) reason(s) you can't just plop a G1 kernel onto our devices and expect it to work. I would think that anything that can be borrowed, has been. I know they look at that device, the Hero, and I believe the Sapphire... Not sure what others, maybe Tattoo?

I don't think there's a single Android phone with these paltry RAM/CPU specs and such a high-resolution screen. I think that may be one of the reasons graphics are so poor, it has to work so much harder to render!

You mean more than just HSPL...?
