[HTC EVO 3D] blu3poptart:
No problem. And that all depends on the dev, they might include a custom kernel (so you can OC) but some may include the stock one and suggest a kernel for you to flash. I would suggest using a kernel other than stock if you wanna OC (although I'm not sure if you can use perflock disabler..can anyone confirm/deny?)

Edit: I'm not rooted yet, haven't had the time. But I might make the jump in a day or two. Kinda missing that aosp goodness!

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
All the ROMs (so far) are based off the original EVO 3d rom, the only difference is some have tweaks and/or HTC Widgets and apps like peep and friend stream taken out. If a ROM isn't fully functional it will say so in the first post. If you wipe yes you will loose all your apps but apps like MyBackup or Titanium Backup can restore them as they were in minutes. If you going to be flashing ROMs, one of those programs is really good to have.

i have both sgs1 and sgs 2...i have noticed one thing ..that the haptic feedback in sgs2 is not as responsive and not as instense as it used to be in sgs1...is it only with me or otherz have also noticed this thing....??:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
Have you tried lowering/maximizing the vibrating intensity in Settings?

And if you did, only thing i could think of is they lowered the intensity on the SGS2 deliberatily because then it saves battery compared to the intensity on the SGS1. (i never had a SGS1, so it's a wild guess)

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
Which keyboard do you use? Use the swype-keyboard. That way the haptic is a bit stronger. You don't need to necessarily swype using Swype keyboard, you can also type on it and it's neat to have all symbols under the normal keys (long press for symbol). Give it a try and let me know if it changes anything.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Hey all, so I just had a question about automatic brightness.

Does Automatic Brightness save that much battery compared to the level one brightness? I'm guessing that the proximity sensor consumes battery life to adjust the screen brightness, so if the lighting around you changes often, wouldn't the phone be using more battery?

So, I guess the real question is, what saves more battery life: automatic or regular?

Unless you are always on the phone, I would say that it is negligible.

I'm not the type to beg, but I've been looking for more ways to make my phone better than what it already is. I just can't get enough of that eye candy. So I was wondering if someone with the skills can chime in and make a custom file that could be pushed through terminal emulator to change the sprint banner in the notification bar and on the lockscreen (scrolling text). Sort of like one of the methods posted in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866553This is one of the things I just loved about the OG Evo. The mod itself gave my phone originality, & i'm pretty sure a lot of people would prefer a more easier way to do this other than the way that's provided in the development section. Anyway, if this is possible, I would like to thank the person who will make this happen in advanced. I appreciate your time & efforts. ;)

What's going on Cheesy? Thanks for the link, but it wouldn't do me any good do to the fact that I'm using the thyparency theme. I was a little tired to realize as I was typing this up, I would need to pull a folder so it could be edited to work properly without causing my phone to go haywire.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
It works, I am using both zips and thyparency right now. You need to CREATE two files called "lock_carrier.txt" and "carrier.txt" in your /system/customize folder. Then you input whatever text you want, no weird characters. Then you flash whatever zip version you want from JsChiSurf, done. I guess backup first, but I've been flashing away no loops yet. I should also add that you must have a deodexed ROM. I also have all the versions of the zips from Js, if you need one ask in the d3rp q+a thread, I have it set to email me. Peace.

i just bought a used samsung focus. It is working perfectly except for 2 things.

2) The proximity Sensor is not working, i have looked at the service menu for the samsung focus and the box is always red and no number is ever showing (reg shows 0)

Also, i was wondering is there a way to completely reset the phone, and redownload and install the operating system. maybe the software is busted?

[Focus General] Inventfmc:
I thought it took crappy photos too, until I discovered if you half-press the shutter button then it allows the phone to focus better (and in dark situations it uses a filler-flash so it gets a clearer pic with less of the flash white wash). Since then I've gotten some great photos, even had one used in a newspaper!

Is it possible to make the transformer keyboard dock into an external battery pack for my htc desire?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] domin8:
wut
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] andrewklau:
I think maybe he means using it as a charger for his HTC desire.

It is "possible", however you will need some way to modify the dock so that it activates power when the pad is not docked but the usb cable is connected. Because as far as I know the USB device won't be active unless they keyboard is docked. Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Kumabjorn:
Make cable

That is actually one smart idea. Unfortunately it will require you to make a special cable that hooks into the dock/keyboard where the tablet is inserted, that is the connector for electricity to the battery in the tablet. Seeing that you are in Taiwan I'm sure you can convince a manufacturer to make a cable like that, I think there might actually be a market for that, albeit kind of specific and limited.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] RojasTKD:
How about the Transformer USB adapter that plugs into the dock port. here:

http://liliputing.com/2011/08/asus-...sb-adapter-other-accessories-coming-soon.html

then plug a SUB cable from your phone to the USB adapter. I don't know that It would work but just an idea.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] typci:
I tried to use the dock to charge my cellphone while I was in Hong Kong. There is one major obstacle to overcome. The usb ports on the dock will only provide a charge when the tablet is docked and awake. The second the screen turns off, it stops providing a charge. What I did was set the transformer to never sleep (never turn off screen) and plugged my phone up while I slept. Drained my battery in my Transformer, but charged my cellphone, which was more important.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRipleyx:
Hey Guys,

As you can see im new to xda (in fact this is my first post). I own a samsung galaxy s 2 and have rooted it with Darky's Rom. I heard of the theme Go Launcher Ex and when i tried it out i was very impressed with the nice colour schemes and themes available to me. I am currently running all the app animations/transitions so i was wondering if the themes I am using would consume more battery life and/or effect the performance of the phone.

Thanks in advance,

Ripley
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraN0va:
i would say yes. i tried it and got some battery drain ,like live wallpapers.

i would not recommend it, download a new theme there are many in themes and apps forums. be careful, that theme and rom compitable and specialy for your rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
I found go launcher EX to not have any negative effects on battery life or performance.

I changed to ADW EX due to hearing some iffy things about go launcher ex
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Go Launcher EX likes your IMEI number.

By the way it's quite logical for fancy stuff and rendered effects to have a negative impact on the battery and performance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woaloo:
Hummm, what are those so iffy things ??? didn't read anything worst than other launchers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
I don't see any differences to TW regarding battery. sure some effects may drain but it's for a second so it won't have that big impact.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
A dev who had decompiled it said that it had quite a bit of data mining **** in it.

Dunno how true it is, but I moved to ADW EX just in case, I do miss the combined homescreen/app draw folders and the nice task manager widget.

I think live wallpapers can be a bit of a drain depending on how well there coded but never found the launcher to be bad in regard to battery usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRipleyx:
thanks for your response guys. Sorry for being a noob but what is "data mining ****". Also if ho launcher is a bit dodgy, what theme would you guys recommend?

Thanks Again! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Actually I'm a go launcher user and have been for awhile and haven't notices bad battery life...but I am interested in what this data mining is too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
IMO each and every launcher other than Stock TW drains more battery than normal, however it maybe marginal but still it will.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
There's so many apps that like the IMEI or IMSI number... even the XDA app requests IMEI every time.

To answer the OP's question, I haven't noticed any excessive drain with Go launcher. Obviously any launchers, live wallpaper, widget, etc will use *some* battery in varying degrees. Probably worth mentioning that then I'm not one for going through and worrying excessively about battery stats though... I just use my phone, live wallpaper and all, and when it wants feeding, I just plug it in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
in my experience it seemed to drain a little quicker. Ive tried launcher pro and battery was fine, lost 1% an hour in standby. Moved to go launcher it seemed to go to 2-3% an hour. Last night i put adw launcher with a theme on and will give that a week to see how it goes, although so far this morning its not impressing me, ive lost 5% in an hour on standby so far. But ill give it a week to see how it settles.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
With minimal use of the phone I got 3 days out of a full charge. This was with Go Launcher Ex, so I would very obviously say that it is not a battery hog.

As for "data mining", I have mine set to prompt me if it ever requires the permissions that the package suggests. It's never needed to call out, access contacts or access call logs.

If you're worried about apps doing things you don't like, like getting your IMEI (which is VERY common - almost all apps do it), get LBE Privacy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvz88:
How accurate are battery monitor apps?

I've used one called 'Where's my droid power?' and everytime I turn on Go Launcher, WMDP almost always reports it's using over 25% battery (though sometimes it would go down to less than 1% which is what it should be using normally)

Apart from what WMDP tells me, I also think Go Launcher uses up a bit of battery just from experience. Though I haven't used it for too long, but it's the impression that I got out of a few days use.

The upside is of course Go Launcher is one of the best launchers out there.. I'd even say it's the best at the moment (Not an invitation to discuss which launcher is the best)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
From my experience of using go launcher i can attest to the fact that it does use more battery than the stock launcher thats for sure, tried launcher pro as well and had the same result. So i just went back to stock touchwiz for now don't really mind it; ill just grab a rom with the stock android launcher prebuilt into the rom soon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
just following up on this, i installed adw launcher yesterday and so far this morning its losing a steady 5% an hour. nothing else has changed on my phone except the launcher. Think ill be going back to launcher pro, the others look nice but if they drain so much in standby its poiintless
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
I've been using Go Launcher EX exclusively since start of this month. I can assure you that it doesn't use any more battery than any other launcher I've tried.

So, I have an LG GT540 Optimus.

The USB micro B plug/port became loose and I couldn't get a new cable to check for 2 weeks. Now, when I got the new cable, the phone wouldn't charge or switch on. It's quite possible that the battery is fully dead.

I cannot send it to service center since I have a custom ROM and there seems no way to enter bootloader or recovery.

Any tips and ideas to get out of this mess?

[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
The problem is isolating the issue. The new cable I bought seems thin and might have broken. Or, it might be that the phone's USB port is broken/faulty.

Yes. Am considering an external charger but just curious. How can I make sure that the issue is with the discharge fuse and not with the phone? Is it an issue with Android phones that they will not charge if completely discharged?

Btw, how do I get the voltage source? I don't have a volt meter. The charger that came with the phone is 5.1V USB charger. What if the charger itself is faulty?

Thanks!

Motorola uses USB mini B. Nokia uses proprietary port. As far as I know Blackberry and LG use USB micro B. It's not an issue of replacing the faulty part. Am not sure which is exactly faulty. I don't want to buy a new battery and charger only to find out that the phone's port is faulty.
[General Questions and Answers] wescovallen:
Root cause analysis

If the phone had charging problems before you bought the new cable and still has charging problems after you tried the new cable then the problem is likely to be the phone and not the cable.

Plan 0:

Check that the battery is actually dead. Use a multi-meter or find someone that has tools. If not then do not proceed with Plan A or B.

Plan A:

1a. Search the web to see if there is an easy way to power the phone other than through the USB.

(a) Maybe through the battery connectors with an AC-DC power block? I'm imagining paperclips + phone + DC block, one clip on inside of tube, one clip on outside of tube, ...add tape. Make sure DC voltage matches the battery spec.

(b) Maybe with some of the manufacturing test connectors?

2a. Get the device charged up.

3a. Get all of your data out of the phone.

4a. Wipe the phone. Use recovery to wipe as much as possible. Figure out how to completely wipe it and return it to stock. Make sure its stock everything: kernel, recovery, ROM. Format the SD card.

5a. Let battery discharge *almost* completely. Just enough to demonstrate that it works.

6a. Return it.

If that fails, plan B:

1b. Try to disassemble the phone (tools needed)

2b. Find USB wiring specification for which pins are power

3b. Inspect those pins for problems

4b. Solder to fix problems (you may also be able to wiggle/hold the connector "just right" to make contact which saves you steps 1b-5b)

5b. Re-assemble

6b. Go to step 2a at top, at your discretion of course.

If Plan 0, Plan A, and Plan B fail then re-post.

Charged the battery with an external charger for around 2 hours. The phone switched on when I used the same battery. Battery level was 30% or so. The battery was too deeply discharged.
