yes tmobile. the thing is, this is kinda urgent since shes leaving to college in 2 days.......
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tipika:
Got the same problem, the battery died after a few hours even in airplane mode

You need to recalibrate the battery, you can do it in 2 ways

Fully charge 100% the phone then:

Use the battery recalibration app from the market

Or

Go to recovery and select wipe battery stats

Your phone will magically last more
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zencoran:
she wont let me though -.- damn hormone raging teen girls
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tipika:
With the battery recalibration app is so easy that she can do that be herself.

Just tell her to charge the phone overnight, and the morning run the app (giving root access) and press the button

No hassles, no trouble

Otherwise, if she does not want to do that, she should not complain about the battery life

Ps: i think that the phone must be s-off to do that when system is loaded, did you do that?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimczyz:
Doesn't have to be S - Off, just rooted which it has to be with CM7 on it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tipika:
I understood that s-off was needed for editing files in /system, am i wrong?

The location of the battery stats file should be protected from writes if the phone is s-on, i think
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zencoran:
idk about that, i mean from expierience with a moto phone and a lg phone, they were just rooted, no s-off and i was able to calibrate
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimczyz:
I don't have s - off on my slide and I calibrate it every so often with no problems.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zencoran:
just a question, i got her to calibrate, and while it was discharging to 0, the phone rebooted. does this mess up the calibration process?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tipika:
I have no idea

You know what?

Today i was in a rural area with poor reception and the phone died in less than 5 hours with no use at all

Can be that?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
a few words for you:

1) yes, battery recalibration can help, a little

2) Tmobile was been upgrading their network and as of late, customers have been complaining of poor battery battery life. Those affected are 4g phones. Our phone is 4g compatible, so that could attribute to the problem

3) Poor network coverage can drain the battery as well. Turn of mobile data when not using it in order to combat this issue.

4) cm is almost always better with battery life (except a for a bad build here and there), so the issue is not CM7 (unless your using the nightlies, I dont know how well those are running)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimczyz:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] todayismine:
I unlocked my incredible 2 by code to use GSM . Firmware 2.2.1. So the question in here are:

1. how can i root my firmware 2.2.1 ( my version for US)??

2. how i disable 911 GPS? it is a reason to decrease my battery?

3. If i upgrade my firmware to 2.3 , i need to buy order core to unlock to use GSM?

Thanks so much if you can advise me!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
Ok.

1. To root use http://revolutionary.io/ enter your serial key, and follow the instructions, it's fairly easy.

2. I believe Verizon (and all carriers) are required to have their phones using 911 GPS, as if you dial 911 they can track your call, and I'm pretty sure you won't have a big difference in battery life with it disabled.

3. If you update to 2.3.3 you can't root, so I suggest rooting (using revolutionary), and then installing a 2.33 Sense ROM. And to use GSM, from what I've heard, you call Verizon and ask them to enable your GSM for overseas.

Hope I helped! If I did a thanks would be appreciated!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] todayismine:
I got it, thanks so much pinakaeus!! let my try it!! can i call verizon eventhough i live in singapore to enable my GSM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sgiitk:
1. Used to be with AlphaRevX/beta2 so should now be with revolutionary.io From what I hear the S-off survives a OTA upgrade to Gingerbread. So Root and then upgrade.

2. Best way is to switch off data. Of course you may have to do more if you want to only switch off GPS. Maybe stopping this service!

3. I do not think so.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
Yes, I believe you can still call them IF you bought the phone directly from Verizon, if not then I believe you need a XTC Clip, it's about 33€ or so.
[Xoom General] Bottle Guy:
Hi guys I can't post in the xoom root thread yet so I had to start a new thread. I am following this guide to root my xoom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170760. I had no trouble up until this point

In the command window on your PC type; adb remount

Type; adb push su /system/bin

Type; adb shell

Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case "L", like llama)

Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Type; exit

Type; adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

I remounted the xoom but then when I type "adb push su /system/bin" it says "cannot stat "su' no such file or directory" and nothing works after that. Does anyone have a solution?

Update: SOLVED! To anyone else having this problem I figured it out. Make sure the su and superuser apk files are OUTSIDE of the original folder and in the platform tools folder.
[XPERIA X8 General] krzysiek_grucha:
Hi guys !

First of all thank You for a great job with everything posted on this forum !

I'm a newbie user of X8. Yesterday I changed the ROM from stock 2.1.1 to Floyo 0.30 and the problem starts - everytime I want to install new application (using included in Floyo 0.30 OI File Manager or Android Market) the phone freezes fo a minute and rebooting. I've already tried changing the settings <CyanogenMod Settings><Application settings> (I've tried all combinations), I reformatted the SD card in my X8 as well as mounting in on PC and formatting as FAT32, primary.

Can someone help me with this issue ?

Thanks,

Chris.
[XPERIA X8 General] CanoChen:
i had the same trouble with you

i have also tried the newest hackdroid and froyobread rom, but they all have the same problem

have you uesd app2sd+ in your x8 before update to 2.2? i wonder if it has sth. to do with app2sd+, may be i should reinstall all my apps to chech it out

sorry for my english for i am not a native speaker
[XPERIA X8 General] krzysiek_grucha:
Hi CanoChen !

I solved this issue - before upgrading to Floyo 0.30 I was using Link2SD and that's probably the problem - I installed Floyo 0.30 when I had 2 partitions on SD Card - ext3 and FAT32.

What to do to solve this problem ?

I reformatted SD card in Xperia X8 settings, I went to xRecovery and choose <Full wipe> and after hard reset I reformatted the SD card again in X8 and it started to work.

I guess Your next problem will be system crashing randomly - update Android Market to newest version as well as SystemPanel app - it worked for me, hope to work for You too :) .
[XPERIA X8 General] epanz67:
for the first time im try floyo v0.30, im doing great just following the instruction at Q/A thread..

maybe you should double check if you miss any steps..

:cool:
[XPERIA X8 General] p1lo:
Floyo 0.30 works fine... was one of the rom of my x8

Use a partition tool for your microsd,

put the microsd in the card reader, and create two partition, one ext2/ext3 (for app2sd) and one Fat/Fat32 for data (pics, vids, mp3, backup your application)
[XPERIA X8 General] CanoChen:
It works!:D

But formatting SD card in X8 settings means all the partitions would be lost, as p1lo said all this mess have to be done again.:(

Anyway, it seems this problem does have sth to do with the former files and partitions in the SD card, so reformatting thoroughly (backup beforehand is always necessary) and having a full wipe could be a solution.:cool:

I can finally enjoy Floyobread now, thanks all your help!:)
[XPERIA X8 General] krzysiek_grucha:
Hi p1lo!

I'm a little curious about You reply - You're saying, that I should create two partitions on my SD Card - ext2/ext3 for APP2SD and FAT32 for data storing.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think APP2SD needs ext2/3 partition to work correctly. I installed Floyo 0.30 and then only formatted SD Card to FAT32, I didn't divide it into two separate partitions and, as far as I can tell, it is working for over 20 days without any problem on FAT32 partition - I moved few apps to SD, again from SD just to make some tests.

Please, tell me is it necessary to have an ext3 partition on SD Card ? Or could You explain me what are the disadvantages of using FAT32 instead of ext2/3, since FAT32 is working correctly ?

Thank You in advance!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlu2:
It’s always an engineering decision to balance look-and-feel, functionality, and speed-of-execution when deciding upon which combination to finally install in your phone. I’m always wondering if there might be something better out there.

Please submit

1. ROM/Kernel combination that you’re using and

2. Speed numbers for one or all of the following 3 tests.

That way we can all compare how well our individual setups are doing.

My setup for my Thunderbolt is the following:

Kernel = Imoseyon-2.6.0-184

Build number = 1.13.605.7 Das BAMF Stripped v1.8

My speed numbers were run with my CPU at 1.594 GHz

AnTuTu = 3732

Quadrant = 2550

Linpack = 56.226
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Those metrics don't seem to mean much for a number of reasons. I've run setups that scored great on everything, but the UI was too jerky and slow to even use. Plus, you're not asking the right questions. Like, what governor is used? What are all the other kernel and ROM settings? Depending on kernel settings on the same setup, you can nearly double your benchmark scores on some ROMs. I have up even benchmarking honestly. Just didn't prove anything.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlu2:
Re: Prior comment

I don't profess to know much about ROM/Kernel combinations, speed of execution, governors. nor the relative significance of the scores from the different tests. I probably tried out over 15 combinations of ROM/Kernels along with different governors. I didn't record scores for all of them and the test scores that I'm printing are not the highest scores that I achieved. They're just the scores of my present setup that I chose because it currently works best for me in terms of speed and functionality.

Based upon the prior person's comment I reran all three tests 3 times each for three governors. The test results and their averages are posted below. Contrary to the prior person's comment, I didn't find wildly different test results for the different governors. Here are the results:

Governor = smartass

AnTuTu = 3748, 3763, 3875 = Avg is 3795

Quadrant = 2204, 2399, 2415 = Avg is 2339

Linpack (Single Thread) = 51.909, 54.543, 54.757 = Avg is 53.736

Governor = ondemandX

AnTuTu = 3621, 3657, 3646 = Avg is 3641

Quadrant = 2223, 2496, 2262 = Avg is 2327

Linpack (Single Thread) = 51.463, 54.757, 49.635 = Avg is 51.952

Governor = interactiveX

AnTuTu = 3657, 3830, 3690 = Avg is 3726

Quadrant = 2479, 2535, 2423 = Avg is 2479

Linpack = 53.947, 54.721, 54.615 = Avg is 54.428

Once again, I'd welcome seeing test scores coupled with the ROM/Kernel/Governor setup that others are using.

Where should the Home button be?

I've had the Evo, Hero, Optimus, Moment, Evo Shift, and now the Photon

With the first 5 phones.. the Home button has always been to the far left side. And with the exception of the moment (only 3 buttons, no search), all of them have the same 4 buttons which I've grown to love.

But I notice the LG G2X and now the Photon have the Home key as the second key.. which frustrates me to no end.

The Home key, is like the escape key.. its the button you press to get out of whatever and go to the home screen. Much like a keyboard, the escape key is on the far left side.. not in the middle. If you put the escape key next to the "T" key.. it wouldn't be so easy to find it. The same goes for the Home key.. having it on the end is the most natural and intuitive place for it.

Why would you ever put it as the number 2 button? I constantly hit the menu key trying to go to the home page. I've had the phone for 2 weeks now, hoping I'd get use to it.. but I feel like I shouldn't have to. It is just stupid placement.

Just posted this in Opera Mini, and the typing lag is indeed gone in that now. (Been a while since I last tried it, it definitely lagged badly at one point in the past.)

Unfortunately it has its own set of glitches that are just as annoying, including the text box totally incorrectly reformatting when scrolling the page, and login fields causing the entire page to flash, reload, and occasionally even wipe out the username you just entered when you tap in the password field -- and finding those bugs took all of 45 seconds from opening Opera Mini.

Dolphin HD when I last tried it was as laggy or worse than the stock browser, and so was Opera Mobile. Guess I need to try them again, because the stock browser doesn't seem to be getting any better, any time soon.
