Hello to you all!

I'm expiriencig an hudge battery drain since 2 days.

Normaly my battery last for arround 24h. Yesterday I'v unplugged my phone at 6.30AM and till 1PM (I'v made only one call appr. 5min and 3g was on all the time - no othe use!) the battery was gone...

The same in the afternoon and today... I don't remember if the phone ingetting preety warm durrin chargin cos I'm playing or seing tether durring chargeing or sleeping. Now with turned off everything the uper part of the phone (includeing camera and screen) is getting very warm! like durring long playing games with 3G....

I belive it all began with installing the google+ app... I'v just uninstalled it and chargeing the device (every things turned off and still hot...).

Will see if it was that, cos battery stats are ok and battery usage apps arent showeing nothin suspicious...

Any suggestions? I was runnig the sam ROM and config for a longer time without problems...

Ther's another thing I forgot to say - when I'm tryeing to charge the phone while it's on it's not chargeing - the battery get's drained even faster! for egz. when it's 15% charged after 15mins under charger its 4%!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
To know what's causing the Awake when screen is off, install Better Battery Stats and see under Wakelocks. Confirm if it is G+ or anything else.

[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
Ok, just installed the app. How long do I have to wait to read the stats? and what is it abot the "G"? couldnd find this info
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Best thing would have to full charge it, and wait till its like 5% battery, then check the stats.
[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
Will do that!

Will charge it durring the night and than will wait till it's nearly gone....

It got better i think - without 3G the drain is bearly there but with 3G on it's bad... It wasn't like that before...

Could it be that installing the google+ app it activated kinda sys updates or similar?
[Galaxy S II General] SolBallads:
hey mate! I've experienced a similar problem myself so if you can please post your conclusions tomorrow.. Thank you in advance! :):):)
[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
Phone is on now since 36mins battery at 95% (aevery thing on as usual) will se what hapens...
[Galaxy S II General] Sakzaki:
Hi oofol!

When you have installed google+ app, have you checked "instant upload"?

It could be the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
Yep, done that however I can't imagine it should suck off the battery that much!

FB is working ok;)
[Galaxy S II General] mythoc:
try juice defender :D
[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
Allready installed

It seems that it was the fould of google+.........
[Galaxy S II General] Sakzaki:
The problem is that when you check this option, your mobile upload all your picture to Picasa and google's server.

At this moment if you're not connect in wifi....:(

Becareful for those who don't wanna be caught with their bills!
[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
I know about that - and I did want that (I'v got a plan without data limits).

The drain was almost normal today.

However I'm now connected via USB to my laptop and I'm tethering. As I connected the phone it was arround 48% of juice and now it's falling... now its 8% and falling............

Why isn't it chargeing???

I cant understand that...
[Galaxy S II General] oofol:
So, I think I solved the issue.

Yesterday I uninstalled (I was useing ist fo a couple of weeks without any problems...) BitDefender and the phone is chargeing on tethering and the battery life seems to be normal for now:)

Thanks ithehappy for the tip wit BBS;) it helped a lot:)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frelnik:
Back in the pre-pudding days, flashing an AT&T radio on an International Atrix was a bad idea. Now that our bootloaders are unlocked, is that still the case? Is the worst that can happen a soft brick, or are there harder bricks waiting to happen?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoneguy589:
It's safe to fastboot protocol with RSDlite. I did it the other day tryng a newer radio sbf. Worked fine. The problem from what I've been reading is downgrading to a previous version after updating with OTA.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pennzoilgtr:
im using at&t radio cwm flashable on a custom at&t 2.3.4 rom now with ram-fix kernel on my asia retail model (international). works fine so far. or if you don't want at&t radio you can try bell's latest radio as well. both works fine for at&t rom. for me at least.

you can download here att radio or bell radio
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sweep29:
Hi Pennzoilgtr

Can you tell us exactly what rom - radio etc you are using and links to them if possible?

I have an international and find that custom roms are hard to find as most are for AT&T.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pennzoilgtr:
i tried Alien by kp and nCrust both works.. for radio as long as you use AT&T rom, you need to flash att or bell radio in order to work properly.. att radio.

and flash this unified international o/c kernel with ram-fix all CWM friendly. works perfect with my asian atrix.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristianshlimon:
Hello guys!

Today i was going to mount my 8gb sd card,class 2 (which came in a SE vivaz) in my htc desire. The problem is that my Desire doesn´t detect the sd card. I don´t get the options, formate card etc in the settings. And when I plug it in the computer it doesn´t detect it anymore. It just stopped working. No I didn´t formate it before I tried it, in case you wonder.

I also tried it in a samsung sgh-900. It detects it and says the formate of the sd card cannot be read please formate the card, then yes or no. I press yes but then then a window with "error" pops up.

What could the problem be?

Regards

Kristian
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
If no device can read it, then I think sadly your card has died mate.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Current status:

Working:

- adb (best way of controlling device currently)

- X11 (only framebuffer with hardcoded refresh rate of ~20Hz)

- landscape mode fixed! =D

- touchscreen (probably only single touch)

- wifi (only when running things from console, ubuntus network manager does not recognize it)

Not working:

- Basically everything else :P

Alpha 1:

EDIT: Seems that multiupload has screwed up and this link was going to some crap, anyway this is not relevant anymore

Username 'ubuntu', password 'ubuntuxda'. Don't use this if you don't know how to restore the boot partition! (Or else you won't be able to boot back into android!)

Experiments:

Tried disabling the CONFIG_TEGRA_ERRATA_657451 switch in the kernel to make newer linux versions boot. This might be a bad idea in the long run, but this far things are working better than with the switch enabled..
[LG Optimus 2x] TacoLoco:
I tried Ubuntu via chroot method posted in other thread, but I'm a noob.. Can you please explain what is different about your ubuntu?? Does it boot without Android and doesn't need VNC stuff?
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Yes, it boots instead of android when turning on the phone, but it doesn't work completely, so I mostly put it up here so that people could help test and fix/hack things.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
You rock! :) Unfortunately I'm no dev, so can't help but hopefully others will, so we'll get a fully working linux on our phone, and maybe later even meego. :) Is there btw drivers for the gpu? Because hdmi, with usb host ofc, would be really useful!

Anyway, good job, really! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rypac:
This looks great ergoen! I'm no dev either but I can't wait until it's available to everyone, I would love to have Ubuntu running on my O2x.

Best of luck!
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
gpu drivers are closed source, and the ones released by nvidia require a newer kernel (2.6.38), so thats not really possible yet.

Newer kernel will be necessary anyway though, since the crashes I'm getting seems to be due to a bug in tegra which gets worked around in 2.6.36. I'm not skilled enough to perform that port though. I will of course give it a try, but most likely I'll go for some older version of ubuntu and/or perhaps meego instead.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
Håller med tidigare poster. Would be awesome with native Ubuntu and Meego on the phone... keep up the good work, can't wait to follow this development.
[LG Optimus 2x] SimDroid:
What would happen if you changed this to 72Hz instead? I saw that info when I was browsing System Information in some app. Im not a dev At. All. But tell me what you think :p it's probably a stupid question
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
I can give it a try later, not that it would make any difference :P.

edit: 72 Hz also seems to work, cool, that's higher refresh rate than my computer screen...
[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
Its good you got it to work.Saves me some work.I was gonna begin this project my self after the 19th when my exams end.Maybe i could help you.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Most computer screens usually support atleast 72hz also, it's just that it only works with d-sub, and sometimes only at a lower resolution.. It's possible to make special drivers to some screens to enable higher refresh rate through dvi also.

Anyway, it's good the screen on the phone refreshes at 72hz instead of 60 for android, but in linux I really don't see the benefit.. Doesn't hurt to have though. :) Btw, if we would stay on this kernel, can we use the drivers from android then? Shouldn't gpu also work? Or are the drivers limited and don't allow xorg for example? Sorry if it's stupid question, don't have that much knowledge how android works yet. :p
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Update: X11 and touchscreen work on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick with new kernel (just a few hacks :P)!

manasgirdhar: sure! Lot's of things to do :P new kernel is needed for anything newer than ubuntu 10.10, and even here things like sound etc (cpu scaling maybe too) don't work.

kruppin: actually i removed the xorg.conf now, the phone thinks its running at 106 Hz and it works. Unfortunately in practice it goes at more like 20 Hz because of the hack I made to enable the fbdev output in the kernel. Android doesn't use X11, so those drivers wont be of any use. (I will post the kernel modifications to github soon)

edit: kernel source up on https://github.com/ergoen/LG-Optimus-2x-linux-kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocoolriddler:

[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Alpha 1 is up in the second post for anyone who wants to test it (don't ^^).

I have not tried debian no, I thought ubuntu would be the easiest to google errors and bugs for :p.
[LG Optimus 2x] pannonmage:
You are great! i was hopin' for this since I have mine. You should try to make usb(otg) work to get some devices going:) i will try to test it soon:rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] Wing_Zero85:
That's amazing :) We have to test USB OTG function. If it works by default, I'll try this right now :)

It is possible to make a dual-boot: ubuntu and android?
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
I don't think usb otg works since I am basically using the android version of the kernel, I also won't be able to try since I don't have a cable... (will buy one sooner or later).

Dual boot probably works if you flash the boot.img onto the recovery partition instead of the boot partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 instead of /dev/block/mmcblk0p5). I have not tried this though. That way regular booting would give android and booting while holding volume down would give ubuntu, only problem with this is that cwm will be gone and the only way to fix broken things would be to flash with nvflash.
[LG Optimus 2x] pannonmage:
well it is not a major deal if have cifs avail :) needs kernel support as well. Benee mentioned (might) some otg support, mayb u could ask.

also, you might give E17 a try, it is butter-fast, and has a touch module for keyboard (letter zooming.!..) LINK

this can be compiled on a lot of hw, and gives good response with fbdev non-accel drivers also.

and most linux apps work on it fine. ofc until we have 2d/3d accel and might try compiz/fusion as well :)

[LG Optimus 2x] Micron88:
Great job ergoen!

I've worked on exactly the same some weeks ago but i never accomplished it. because i stuck creating a working ramdisk. Which toolchain do you use?

MfG
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
I'm building the kernel using the 4.3.1 toolchain in cyanogenmod because i already had those synced. I will probably switch to something else later since I fail to build vorkkernel... :P

Also, minor update: I'm experimenting with disabling the CONFIG_TEGRA_ERRATA_657451 switch in the kernel to be able to boot new linux versions and this far things seem to work. This is _probably_ going to cause crashes since that switch was there to protect us from a hardware bug, but ubuntu 11.04 actually boots now compared to crash-fest earlier =D.

edit: if you were asking about the ramdisk, well, that's a bit hit-or-miss, I can package the ramdisk with cpio and all that in an ubuntu 10.10 virtualbox but I have this far failed to create a working one in a kubuntu 11.04 virtual box, so I'm not exactly sure what is necessary..
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Feel free to try out me and Benee's Tegra 2 optimized toolchain. The build scripts are up on our github if your feeling lucky :D

Nice work by the way!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rafase282:
Hello, I was looking into runing ubuntu on my LG G2X and researching whether or not to use arm I came across here. I would like to know if there is a chance that it would work on my device if not, if you could point me out on the right direction to at leats get it installed on my internal sdcard and I woudl just chroot to it.
[LG Optimus 2x] xIceCream:
and are we able to dual boot this and custom ROM ?
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
kiljacken: I will try it, thanks

Rafase282: this should work the same on the g2x as it does on the o2x (except you have a different boot partition, so you have to change mmcblk0p5 to your when flashing the boot.img) If you don't know what I'm talking about, please don't try this, since it will most likely break stuff on your phone and it doesn't work that well on the o2x either :P

xicecream: By flashing the boot.img to the recovery partition instead of the boot partition dual booting should be possible. But there is really no reason for that yet.

Also, I haven't had time to work on this at all the last two weeks and I will be busy for some more time, so don't expect any updates from me for a while.
[LG Optimus 2x] desmopro:
i have tried it at alpha 1 : wow, that work fine o:

But :

Where is the virtual keyboard after login ?

In the future, you need to fix the sound/phone/sms/hsdpa part, this is the only way to have a usable linux.

and what about USB host ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Micron88:
How, do you create this Ubuntu image. I've tried to create a image via rootstock https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch. But it wont boot on the phone and inside qemu. Your image runs fine in qemu using maverick vmlinuz.
[LG Optimus 2x] pannonmage:
I AM interrested in this so i bump it. is there a possibility to dualboot somehow? is there more development planned?

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
desmopro: virtual keyboard can be opened from the accessibility settings I think. Phone parts are obviously not working since that would require some major programming, this phone was released with android not linux. usb-host might be possible at some time in the future but I don't have a cable and there are more important issues with this that have to be fixed before. This is really just proof-of-concept level :P.

Micron88: I started with the "preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap" image from ubuntus webpage (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/) and customized it from there.

pannonmage: there is little point in dual booting now since few things work, but it should be possible by flashing the ubuntu boot image to the recovery partition instead of the boot partition. Further development (by me) has been paused since I have been quite busy with the university for a while and it doesn't really look like I'll have much time to work on this in the coming months either. Maybe some minor things, I'll see.

I'd love to see this finished especially since p990 gingerbread is out along with source. I'm using a p999 but everything but cell radio should work, which isn't even used in Ubuntu/Linux.
[LG Optimus 2x] Xmister:
I would like to try it, but I don't want to reflash the whole boot partition, so I think I will implement multi-boot system inside clockworkmod recovery, like I did with spica a while ago ( forum.samdroid.net/f9/multi-boot-system-recovery-2640/ ). :)

Xmister: if I understood correctly from your link to samdroid, you would like to "dualboot" by calling different init functions, right? For the graphics in ubuntu to work I had to modify the kernel a bit as well, so using the recovery kernel might not be an option!

Also as a note: I have stopped working on this.
[LG Optimus 2x] silt96:
Any update?
[LG Optimus 2x] Xmister:

What about the "Linux on Tegra"-Project from Nvidia itself?

Nvidia is providing even a Kernel(3.1.x) and Drivers.

Isn't it useful for us?
[LG Optimus 2x] .andreas:
In my spare time I try to boot Linux.

Actually the problem isn't to boot the kernel, but that the external MicroSD-Card will not be recognized.

I'm using https://github.com/bhanvadia/tegra-linux-3.0.y as my current base, with manually patched extras for the framebuffer.

I think there's a problem with the MMC-Block-driver...

The Kernel-Message is something like "unknown partition table, mmcblk1boot1"

Isn't there anybody out who knows a bit about the Linux boot process and the device-recognizing?

It would be very helpfull if I could get help within this problems..

The userland-stuff shouldn't be a huge problem, because of Mer/Tizen/Ubuntu/etc...
[LG Optimus 2x] smokku:
I would rather start with the source of one of the android kernel builds.

Once you have it working, you will be able to tweak it for bare Linux.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
The mmcblk0boot0 and partitions like that are a side effect of the mmc driver in the new kernel. That shouldn't be a problem though, you can just ignore them, the real partitions are indexed like before. What init script are you using in the ramdisk? (it is here you're supposed to mount the Linux partition)
[LG Optimus 2x] .andreas:
Erogen, nice to see you here again :)

I'm using your init-script, with random and ugly changes to test and try.

The Kernel is starting and the init-script is working, but it will not recognize the external SD-Card.

In my mediafire folder you can see the files I'm using, like the kernel .config and the ramdisk-folder with build-script:

http://www.mediafire.com/?2e5o4dhsbz2ao

I don't know whats wrong, but until now I don't get the SD recognized..

@smokku: Android is booting and running fine with this kernel..
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Huh, whopsie, that is not the script I used in the alpha1-version, I must have uploaded the wrong one in the tar file to my server.... Unfortunately the alpha1 thing from multiupload seems gone now.. :(

I've been toying around a little with the newer kernel together with a newer ubuntu aswell lately, this image (unpack it and modify it as much as you want!)

https://ha.xxor.net/o2x/newrdisk.img

will mount the fat partition and then boot ubuntu from a rootfs.img file which is assumed to be formatted with ext2.

The script is very buggy and gives lots of errors, but it boots, will post a better one later if you want.

Also ubuntu 11.10 (which I've been toying with) requires you to turn off the tegra errata 657451 flag in the kernel, otherwise basically nothing works. Touchscreen seems to work out of the box with the new kernel so no ugly hacks required for that. (the framebuffer driver still needs hacks though since it is not one bit more functional than the .32 one)

I'm glad someone else picked this up and is experimenting =D
[LG Optimus 2x] .andreas:
many thanks for the new ramdisk.

Whats your source about the creation of the ramdisk, or where did you get the informations about the ramdisk? I've already spend so much time and don't get it running ..

At the moment I'm building a new kernel and then I will have a try.

I'm really happy to get some help.

PS: nice idea to use an image-file for the rootfs
