Wait for the messiah, word from our brothers is he shall arrive in August. but silence young one for they will hear us .... the galaxy is near young Jedi
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Shut your face
[HTC EVO 3D] synaesthetic:
Well, that was completely useless.

All the reviews of the EVO 3D so far have commented on battery life being relatively unimpressive. Considering the sheer size of the battery used in this device, one would think that preventing the 3D-whatever from functioning or even loading at all would aid in extending the battery life.

Though, perhaps this is impossible and all LCDs with parallax barriers simply use more power even displaying 2D images...
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Just don't use the 3d features... Not sure what else to say.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
There's not much any of us can do when it comes to your request. However, as our development progresses, an option should present itself.
[HTC EVO 3D] synaesthetic:
Hopefully so. Sprint service is very good where I live, and with the blue deathstar threatening to swallow up T-Mobile I'm inclined to switch over.

Shame the Nexus S 4G has signal issues, else I'd be inclined to switch over right away (yeah, I know it's "old" but it has AOSP Android right out of the box).
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I still don't understand why you can't just refrain from using the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Buy a evo 4g..... Or don't use 3d apps.... Or view 3d videos or pictures.
[HTC EVO 3D] synaesthetic:
Because with a battery that huge, the thing shouldn't die so fast. Something about the 3D gimmick is eating battery even when turned off. Could be that the parallax barrier LCD just uses more power.

And the old Evo is a downgrade from my current device. Why would I want that? I want something better, or at least a sidegrade. Not a downgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] lex_is300:
I don't think the 3d is killing ur battery when ur not using it, at least not that u would ever notice. My battery life on my 3d is actually better than what it was on the og evo. If anything u have to consider that the qhd screen, dual core CPU, 1gb RAM, etc.....uses more power too.

from the silencer of my shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I highly doubt that the parallax barrier is using battery when its not turned on. That is like saying the flash is using power when its not on.
[HTC EVO 3D] NYCHitman1:
What do you consider to be fast? My phone went 18 hrs between charges on most days (pre-root).

Yes, I did see you mentioned that. Just trying to provide another data point to discover the cause. I'd have updated already if Litening rom was ready :) But yea, seems its been broken on every build I've tried up to this newest kh1 (as I've been told at least).

Hi,

I have been looking on google for phones that have continuous autofocus when recording videos but I can't seem to get sufficient datas. I know that the Xperia X10, Arc, Vivaz, Droid 3 and the Infuse sports this. But are there other models that have a continuous autofocus for videos?

Thanks!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ForumBlue:
I'm purchasing a G-Slate tablet and had a question about it's connectivity to a NAT hard drive. I'm looking to play video files (MKV and Avi) from my NAT hard drive as well as copying content from the tablet to the hard drive. I've heard Astro File Manager can read content from NAT hard drives, can it also write content? I've also seen the Seagate drives that can stream content to the tablet via an app, could these drives also have content be read and written from a file manager? Thanks for the input.
[Dell Streak 7] dang1970:
My Streak 7 wifi, stock ROM- gps unable to lock. Other than that, device is great. Wifi connected. In settings, Wireless networks and GPS satellites in use. GPS Status & Toolbox app downloaded aGPS data but not helping, GpsFix app not helping to lock also. Any other suggestions? thanks in advance.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Not to be too mundane, but have you tried a simple reboot, or going outside where you'd be more likely to get a GPS fix? My T-Mobile S7 has had trouble getting a GPS fix several times, but other times it locks right in.
[Dell Streak 7] rattlehead02:
How long have you left in in clear line of sight of the sky to get a lock? I use mine as my primary in-car multimedia center/GPS and at first, to save battery, would turn it completely off when not in use. I found that when I'd get in my car to go home from work it could take up to 10 minutes to get a lock. Then I started just letting it sleep, have had no battery issues and GPS lock is nearly instant.

Long story short: Give it a good while to lock after a full shut down.And maybe you have, I just thought I'd share my experience.

Jeff
[Dell Streak 7] margol1:
I have absolutely the same issue. After turning it off completely, the GPS does not lock for ages in any sky conditions, etc. Moreover, I put another two Android devices (Galaxy S and Optimus One) also after complete shut off juyst nearby and they are getting locked almest immediately. No doubts, there is a bug in the S7 GPS. But what is it ? Is it a hardware problem ? Can it be fixed ? Keeping it in a sleep mode for a long time is not a good solution for me, though it works indeed.

Does anybody know how to fix it ? At the moment I am using an external GPS. It works perfect, but it is also not that elegant solution.
[Dell Streak 7] cootertwo:
Same thing here too. I downloaded "GPS test", and found that it will lock on pretty quick, then fire up GPS, and all is well.:p
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
GPS on android devices need the assistance of the cell tower or ISP location to get a quick lock. When you first boot up the ds7 and turn on GPS, make sure you are connected to wifi in order to get a quick lock. If you search this forum you will see a thread that give a fix for this, but I think its too much of a hassle. Just be on wifi for your first lock will do the trick. This is not bug on the ds7, its android.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Really? More misinformation on this subject? No, Android devices do not need aGPS, in this case you're confusing aGPS (ie: download of ephemeris data) with Network location, which are quite different.

And it really doesn't matter if it's the first or the Nth time, if the DS7 is always offline for some reason, it would likely make that first fix take 5+ minutes but subsequent fixes (for 7 or so days) would be fine. However, as soon as he goes online, it's going to download the ephemeris data.

My guess is that his GPS conf is set to the wrong part of the world, so the ephemeris data is basically invalid. FasterFix in the market can help correct this mistake if you're rooted, or you can replace it manually.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I beg to differ with you. When I was on stock froyo, I had the same GPS lock problem on one of my trip. So I pulled into a McDonald and connected to their free wifi and got an instant lock. This morning I tested it again. I have been running honeycomb sine Oct 5th and have never turn on the GPS. I connected to my wifi, turned on GPS, and opened Google map and got an instant lock. I didn't have to wait 5+ min..
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
And none of that has anything to do with what I said....... :rolleyes:
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
This is a little FAQ I wrote up on how to fix this problem. Just a matter of replacing the file that runs the GPS, based off the area you live in.

http://tabletroms.com/forums/showwiki.php?title=DellStreakFAQ:GPS-FIX
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Good list, although not sure why you're specifying dozens of NTP servers vs the pool server, but :) I assume t-mobile lets anyone connect to its server to download the ephemeris data? Otherwise, probably better to use supl.google.com

Here's mine, for North America, with other regions commented out for NTP. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/334233/gps.conf

It'd be interesting to know if all of the other dozen or so configuration options are actually used, I've heard they aren't, just part of a spec.
[Dell Streak 7] margol1:
I bought my DS7 in the US and I live in Israel. The above explanations perfectly fit my case. Unfortunately, the given link does not include my region (Israel or Middle East, etc). Can somebody help me ? My DS7 runs a stock HC 3.2. The device is unrooted, but I will root it just for solving the GPS problem. BTW, why my Galaxy S bought in Europe does not have such problem ? Is this gps.conf specific in tablets only or in the US devices ?
[Dell Streak 7] margol1:
Another thoughts. Now it seems to me extremely unreasonable to run specific GPS files in different regions. GPS, by definition is supposed to be used in different regions. Should I replace the GPS file in my every trip? Sounds more than unreasonable. I used a Windows CE based PDA with GPS all around the globe without that issue. It does took me a while to fix satellites in a new region for the first time. But then it was getting fixed fast even after complete shut off.

I can't beleive Android is that imperfect. If this option would be included in the menu (e.g. in Regional settings), I would like it. But performing such complicated actions in each trip ???
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Stop your trolling, ephemeris data, ie: what's set up in gps.conf, is to speed up cold starts. it does nothing else, it's not Android specific, in fact all it's doing is downloaded a set of the data that your GPS would otherwise have to slowly acquire from the satellites, which takes 2-10 minutes, depending on conditions and how many sats are seen.

All GPS units do this, but GPS units that have a network available will potentially download ephemeris data to speed up satellite acquisition. Otherwise they just download it. Only time you'll really notice it going slow is if it's been more than 4-5 days (I believe 7 is the official data expiration, but the older it is, the less accurate it is) or you've changed areas since you last turned on the GPS.

Keep in mind that phone-based GPS's suck. They're inaccurate, they're not sensitive, their antennas are not optimal. This is true for nearly all PDA's or Phones, Tablets, etc.. Some may be better than others. They're optimized for space, price, and somewhat for battery life. Not accuracy, precision, or cold starts (beyond A-GPS data downloads, which is an OS function that makes the data available to the GPS)
[Dell Streak 7] margol1:
This means my unit is faulty (apparently it is a common problem for DS7). Otherwise I would have similar cold starts for all three devices I have tested (DS7, Galaxy S and Optimus One). On the other hand, in the light of your explanataion, my tests are, probably, wrong. DS7 is WiFi only, while another two are GSM (no data plans though). In other forums, I read that changing gps.conf file in WiFi only devices dramatically improves cold starts. Apparently they all have been connected to WiFi while starting. I have prepared the appropriate file for my region, but don't know how to root my DS7 with stock HC 3.2. The thread I found here is not sufficiently detail for noobs like me. So, in the mean time I will continue using the external GPS. It is indeed much better than the internal one besides the cold start problem (though much less convinient). If you know a link to the step-by-step instructions for rooting DS7 running stock HC 3.2, I will greatly appreciate it.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Always possible there's a problem with the GPS, maybe the antenna is defective or connected badly. Hope you figure it out.

I have two bluetooth GPS, one Holux 236 I've had about 6 years, another Columbus V900 I was going to replace the Holux with, as it's newer, should have better sensitivity, and has built-in track logging. Except that its accuracy is off, it's precise.... precisely wrong. It's always about 9 meters off. And my primarily use for it is Geocaching, and my Holux 236 is always dead on.. So my new BT GPS is basically used as a track logger. Ah well ;) All that said, I primarily use the BT GPS with my phone while geocaching or hiking or such, but I have used it on the tablet a few times, but most often I just use the built-in GPS on my DS7 because I don't need high precision with it the way I use it.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Thank you, khaytsus.

All this fix does is speed up the initial contact to the GPS satellites for your region. You don't have to use this, you can wait till the GPS in the DS7 makes contact if you want.
[Dell Streak 7] margol1:
The most strange is that the GPS is fine after getting fixed . At least, no difference with Galaxy S, i.e. roughly the same number of satellites, SNR, accuracy. So, the only problem is unreasonably long cold start. I am not sure how it could be caused by a defective antenna. Anyway, in the mean time I decided to use an external GPS. I have three units, two BT and one mouse, which I used to use with my nettop in the pre-tablet era. Yesterday I connected my Hollux 236 to 12 V using a concealed cable and switch. So, now the procedure is reasonably simple: switch on 236, a few clicks on BluetoothGPS and, when the connection is established, I am clicking iGO8. It works like a charm, besides several additional actions I have to perform. When I will sicceed to root my DS7, I will try to play with the gps.conf file anyway.

P.S. I got an idea to connect my mouse GPS using the DS7 docking unit. I have a simple one with two microUSB I/O. Not sure it will work, but, if yes, it can simplify everything dramatically. I will try it on the weekend and let you know about the results.

Thanks.
[Dell Streak 7] margol1:
OK, after two weeks of testing I still don't have a reasonable solution:

1. The USB mouse GPS connected the cradle does not work at all.

2. My greatest disapointment is with the external GPS. It works perfect... when it works. I am using the Bluetooth GPS application to get connected. After several successful connections, without any visible reason, the GPS is not getting connected to DS7, although the application shows many satellites with large SNR (>30-35). However accuracy = 0 and no GPS signal message in iGO8. This happens only from time to time and as I have already mentioned without any visible reason.

Will try another applications and GPS devices.
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
So I have a replacement D3 arriving here on Tuesday so I thought I would dig around this one a bit being that it is messing up anyway. Found a few things that should be helpful to us hopefully shortly....or now would be awesome.

Anyway...all of these started with battery out....hold the key first then insert battery and hit power...all the while holding the key.

Here we go

Volume down

= AP Fastboot

Both volume keys

= Boot menu with options for

Normal

Recovery

AP fast

RP SBF Flash

RP only

AP RP USB Bypass

BP Tools

in this menu only volume down is used to navigate and volume up selects

Right navigation arrow (keyboard)

= RP SBF Flash mode....same as in previous menu but takes you directly to it

Up navigation arrow (keyboard

) = RP Fastboot Flash Mode

M

= Same as both volume down and volume up

B

= Vendor flash mode

F

= fastboot flash mode

I am sure there are more and I will mess with it more tomorrow and post what I find.

[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Ok I just got the Sensation and already own a DHD I am torn as to which one to keep. I love the Sensation but noticed the battery gets very hot compared to the DHD . I have read the forum and there is no solution to the hot battery yet.. So now I am torn between keeping the Sensation or the DHD. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] Shizophren:
The sensation is dual core. Every dual core device gets a little bit warmer then single core devices.

If your hands are to soft to deal with it, change it back. ;-)

Btw. under normal use my sensation doesn't get really hot?!
[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
I was playing a game on it when I noticed it. Did you get a different battery for yours? How do you like it so far?
[HTC Sensation] Shizophren:
In games that's a absolute normal behavior.

I ordered the chichitec 1900mah but it's not there yet.
[HTC Sensation] DesignDecay:
Yes games will make it much hotter than under normal use because of the fact that they use much more power. As for battery life it is worse than most single core phone because of the fact that you have more to power. The ability to flash custom roms to the device will enable much more optimized roms. This will "hopefully" make batteries drain slower. Also if you look in the accessories section you will see a lot of suggestions on different batteries.
[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Ok let me know if it makes a difference in battery life and how hot it gets.

How are you liking it so far?
[HTC Sensation] Shizophren:

I had a Desire HD since release date and it was a great phone (best i've ever had) but then i won a Sensation from HTC Australia, so i thought i might as well use the newer phone and sell the DHD (which i've gotta do soon).

After using my Sensation for about 2 weeks , i'd have to say it is definitely a better phone. It's faster, has a brighter (& higher res) screen, the batter has been lasting longer and feels better in my hands. Although the DHD is still an awesome phone with heaps of great feature.

If i was you i'd keep the Sensation and sell the DHD. Unless you need the extra money then sell the Sensation & keep your DHD
[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Thanks I will take a read through.
[HTC Sensation] armoguy94:
The Desire HD is still a capable and modern phone. If you have any issues with the Sensation then I would say return it. You can always get it again later on (or get any other, newer phone to come out in that time). You might even be able to score a better price if you purchase it later. So, again, if you have an issue with the Sensation now, then return it and buy it again later, especially when development matures a bit.

If you can't return your Sensation and have to sell it as used instead, then I say just keep the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Lokks:
Thanks the sensation is actually brand new just got it unlocked and played a game on it to check the battery heating issue issue I was reading on it.

[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
Sup folks, so I've been downloading different ROMs and making some adjustments to it for my liking.

In the process, I wrote a Linux/Mac shell script to remove the bloatware that I thought it's safe to remove. This is really helpful (I thought) when you are cooking different ROM and just don't want to do the bloatware removal manually.

Some background on how to use this:

1. Rename the removebloat.sh.txt to removebloat.sh, and do a chmod 755 if needed be.

2. Copy both files to your kitchen root folder.

3. Extract ROM of your choice via the kitchen.

4. Execute the removebloat.sh

Removebloat will look at the bloat.txt and remove everything from the WORKING_XXXX/system/app/ folder.

To *NOT* remove the app, simply remove the entry from bloat.txt.
