Hotboot essentially just reboots the O/S and not the entire phone. Its more like logging out and then logging back in on a windows machine.
[Motorola Droid X2] lordgold:
Definitely seeing a difference after doing this. I went from dropping 8-10% an hour to only about 4-5% an hour. Pretty nice.
[Motorola Droid X2] Macguyver:
Same here I did it today too, 4 hours in, playing music for about 3 hours, some wordfued, email and a couple games and I've only lost 25%.
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
Yes sir. Good find. I was about to permanently switch back to froyo due to this battery drain issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] urphonesux:
Tried to fumble my way through Tasker but couldnt figure it out.

So i just installedl this app called fast reboot and set it to do a fast reboot everytime my screen goes off.........will report back

at the very least it appears to be keeping me at 192 mb free consistently. We'll see how that plays out

[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
Tasker is just IF THEN statements. In my profile I use the state Power Any (so any power source). If it is on power i have it set to go to silent mode vibrate, and then the exit task is reboot the phone. If you don't want the vibrate you can have it do a wait task (where it just sits there and waits) and set it to 0. So basically it doesn't wait... it just keeps the profile active until yo unplug... then the exit task reboots the phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] newskate9:
So, I'm too cheap to pay for tasker, but did download reboot widget. Several days of using this "trick", reboot after cord comes out and my battery life has almost doubled.

I say that because, even though I get the orange color on the meter, I know its going to last longer, so I don't feel the need to run to the cord. This is pretty cool. I don't do OTA updates so I suppose a real fix won't be coming, but this is a small price to pay for more juice.

Excellent observation!
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
Hate to sound like an advertisement, but Tasker does do a lot more than reboot your phone. I have mine set to automatically turn on GPS when I hit my Navigation and turn it off when I exit. When I get close to home (using cell towers near my house) it will automatically turn on my wifi and turn it off when I leave my home area.

There are tons of things... you can even set it up to give you the gps location of your phone if you lose it by sending your phone a txt message. Basically replaces a ton of apps that do the same thing.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Could post or link a tasker profile?

I could not get it to work.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Google search for "tasker profiles" there are a ton out there on XDA, and other sites, just waiting to be downloaded.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
I think Tasker needs Root access to reboot the phone.

Mine puts the phone to silent mode for any power, so not sure if you want my exact profile.

Here is how to do it if you want a restart after unplugging.

New Profile - name it if you want

Hit State under First Context

Hit Power under Select State Category

Hit Power under Select Power Action

Leave the Source as Any under Power

Hit the Check

Hit new Task under Task Selection - name it if you want

Hit the +

Hit Tasker under Select Action Category

Hit Wait under Select Tasker Action

Change ms to 1 (so will be 1 milisecond)

Hit the Check

Hit the Task you just created in the profile you just created

Under Task Options hit Add Exit Task

Hit New Task under Task Selection - name it if you want

Hit the + in Task Edit

Hit Misc under Select Action Category

Hit Reboot under Select Misc Action

Hit the Check

Hit the next Check

Now you should have a profile that will just wait 1 ms (essentially does nothing) when you plug in power, and then will reboot your phone when the state changes to no power (unplugged).

Since I just did it to do this walk through I'll get the profile up here :D

Edit: Added the profile. Just unzip it and drop it in sdcard/tasker/profiles

From there you should be able to import it pretty easy.
[Motorola Droid X2] G2sws:
This is just what I have been looking for. Thank you for posting.
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
I wanted to update after using the reboot trick for a month now. It stopped working. I can only get good battery life now if I clear cache and dalvik every time.

System process wont let phone idle below 3%
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Xeno62277

Thank you for the profile.

I must add that this "auto task" works better than just rebooting. I think the system does not have the opportunity to mess with settings as it would with a manual reboot.

Manual reboot : maybe 10 -20 % better if any.

Tasker reboot profile : 2x life or better.
[Motorola Droid X2] NCGamecock:
Noob here. I assume you're leaving your phone on while on the charger, and then doing the restart when you take it off. I've been shutting my X2 off to charge at night and then restarting in the morning. Does this accomplish the same thing you're doing with the restart? Running stock 2.3.3 and only getting 12 - 13 hrs of moderate usage. Would like to increase that if possible.
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
I was messing with my gf's Droid 3 and I saw that she's got 80% after 8 hours (moderate use)!! I checked her battery graph and noticed that her phone isn't awake nearly half as much as mine. Basically, when her screen is off, her phone is sleeping. That definitely isn't the case with my X2!
[Motorola Droid X2] ffejin123:
So before I upgraded to nitro's eclipse gb i used to get 36 hours of battery life easily. Now my battery barely lasts a day with moderate use. The reboot trick helps but it isnt the same. Are devs looking into this. I would like to have the same battery life without having to spend extra money on the tasker app
[Motorola Droid X2] myriad46:
Make sure not to blame Nitro, because with stock GB, you'd probably only get half a day.
[Motorola Droid X2] ffejin123:
I'm not blaming anyone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jelenik:
Very good observation with that rebooting - thanks for that.

I was very curious why phone drains battery so fast and sometimes not. I have also noticed that when i turned off the phone (because sometimes i cheat my alarm app with math "captcha" by just turning off the phone when there is hard math problem :) ) battery drain wasnt so bad.

Basicaly it seems that my phone drains cca 1% battery after 1 hour when NOT using a phone - so i can get 4 days phone on without charging.

Now I have another reasont to buy tasker... But on the other hand i dont like that we need to solve those things - in my opinion that battery drain is a bug and i hope it will be resolved soon...

thanks to a good friend of mine he directed me to this file on GRP dev-site

http://greenromproject.com/showthread.php?269-ADB-The-Easier-Way

open this file in ubuntu software manager, let the package install and reboot system, then adb should work in any directory :D

Original Post:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
If you get this message, there is no need to look for autoconfig rules or something else, you need to check your path. Try to type

which adb

if adb cannot be found, you should do a

export PATH=$PATH:<path to your adb directory>

after that you should be fine for starting adb. If you would like to have it in your path permanently, you shoud add the line above to you .profile file in your home directory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
yeah i already did all that... added the correct path and everything... i tried all these diff methods and none worked, and none were even close to the same as far as what to add to bashrc and the rules.. but i got the issue solved thanks to a file i installed via update manager... rebooted system and adb worked fine :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] notoriouspyro:
Is anyone else experiencing volume control issues when listening to music on a bluetooth headset. I'm using a Motorola Finiti bluetooth and I have both the volume on the device as well as the earpiece set to the lowest setting and it is still freaking loud. I can't seem to find a means of controlling the music volume because when I take a call I need to actually raise the volume to hear the caller. Any help or ideas???
[Motorola Photon 4G] notoriouspyro:
Ok, quick update. Messing around with the volume on the phone does nothing. The volume cannot be controlled by the phone. It is either on or off from the phone itself and my bluetooth volume on my headset is as low as it can go. Any ideas guys????
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surroundedbytrees:
OK I know that the Asus TF with 3G is not currently available in most parts of the world (it does seem to be available in Italy, Taiwan and China).

I spoke to Asus Canada on Aug 16th, 2011 asking about a possible ETA, not much info but from how the rep responded to my question I think we are getting pretty close (like by mid Sept).

So here's a couple questions that maybe the gurus that lounge in here can somewhat address.

We've seen that subsidized devices (ie cell phone's) running Android have been slow at getting updates on Android. The carriers control that upgrade path to insure compatibility with their network. Some it seem could care less about the users level of satisfaction with a particular device preferring that they purchase a new model to gain the features of a software revision.

I own a TF101, it's been a great product, but I'd much prefer a TF101G. (Thankfully I have someone that will buy the TF for full price if I move to the 3G model). With the original TF we've seen Asus leading over others in pushing down updates. But I'm wondering if we are likely to see the same level of support with a 3G model?

Another question I have is that here in Canada currently the only data plan available from the carriers is a 500MB one for $30-32/month. Bell, Telus and Rogers do offer an IPad plan for $15 - 250MB. Now with time I expect that those 3 will offer more tablet plans, but what I'm wondering is could I just buy the Ipad plan and use it with a TF101G or Rocket Stick. I mean sure neither is an "Ipad" but data is data and it shouldn't matter. The only thing I can think of is that the Piad sends some form of a device identifier to the network, but I would think this could somehow be set?????
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
On support, my guess is that Asus will be more aggressive in pushing updates than any other vendor. Getting them out early is their "style". So while there may be some delays caused by 3G, Asus will probably resolve those quickly and ship the 3G update shortly after the Wifi only update.

As an aside, have you considered tethering to your phone? I have no interest in a 3G tablet of any sort. I use my phone's wifi hotspot to tether to tablets (TF, iPad, NC) and laptops. It works great and I always have the phone with me. Also, our area has good 4G coverage (Sprint) so the speed is good. Also, sharing the bandwidth between multiple device makes any charges more palatable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LZLandingZone:
I do an insane amount of tethering, so a 3G tablet seems cool, but unnecessary to me. I find it weird that the TF101 has a portable hotspot feature, along with USB tethering. But I guess in hindsight it makes sense for the tablets that do have 3G connectivity (a la Xoom).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artood2s:
+1, if you have an Android or iOS smartphone, I see no reason whatsoever to get a 3G/4G tablet. Why pay for another data plan?

I personally tether to my iPhone 4.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surroundedbytrees:
currently I have no data plan or for that matter a smart phone, so tethering is not an option, I'm not sure how such devices are priced elsewhere but here in Canada I doubt one could get a phone/plan for under $70 a month. That's considerably more then the under $20 that is available on that 'other' device. Sure it's a small amount of data, but most places that I'd use a tablet have wifi, simply having a 3G for the odd time away from an 802.11 connection would be welcomed

After I installed a new ROM I tried starting the camera application but it crashes.

I've tryed to clean cache (camera application) and rebooting. Wiped everything and reverted back to Aga 1.3.0, the camera still isn't working... wiped everything again and installed CM7 mod (only works in old baseband, but I've installed just to test the camera) and still doesn't work..

run a dmesg on the cm7 (6.5.7) and says:

i2c_write failed

msm_i2c msm_i2c.0: Error during data xfer (-5)

[ERROR]isx005_set_sensor_mode:Sensor Preview Mode Fail

the log is attached

The camera worked on official GB and on Aga 1.3 and CM7 for sure. After I flashed 1.3.5 it stopped working. But I think it should work after I downgraded

I used nandroid backup and restored the original GB v20a, still nothing. Is it a hardware failure?

THREAD RULES: We DO NOT ask for ETA or release dates in this thread!

So it seems like everybody goes crazy when it comes to the porting of CM7. But why?

I got my hands on a SGS2 with CM7 installed. Tried it, experienced it a little. From what I experienced the CM7 wasnt something that special. I asked the owner of the phone what he though of the ROM. To my surprise he said "it's just a ROM". He also mentioned that the stock ROM was smoother.

So now I'm wondering, why all the fuzz? What are you expecting from CM7? What makes it so special and so popular?

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people who craves for the porting of CM7 has no clue of this.

(off topic: tbh, i'd rather prefer MIUI.)

My sister's Backflip has CyanogenMod 7 installed with 2.3.3 (Not even Froyo is released in Asia-Pacific regions) , it allows her to have OC/UV kernels from 600Mhz to 748Mhz . Her phone is wayyyyy less laggier than stock .(the difference is obviously obvious)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
I'm not really good on those areas but arent you able to do that using SetCPU?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
he said using oc/uv.. his sister device only support 600mhz by default, but because she uses custom oc/uv kernel, she can achieve 748mhz with help of setcpu. it depends on clock stepping that were supported by kernel, not by setcpu. setcpu only help to configure those clock stepping :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Oh, never knew about that. From my use of SGA 800mhz is doing alright.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
MiUi is cyanogen based, if I'm not wrong.

First off I'm sure in cm there will be accurate battery reporting. No ****ty jumps in percentage.

Second, if CM is under way I believe developers will include uv, through kernels or modules. Overclocking though, may not be necessary.

Other than that the rom has so many tweaks. Over time and development CM will make our original firmware outmoded because it WILL get smoother.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Deleted member 4200274:
The same ;x but I would try CM too !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
Speed, stability, power, eyecandy, etc, etc.

But most of all; bugfixes and much more stability compared to stock firmware, as it is said that CM7 is build from the ground up so in my eyes it won't or even can't have the flaws that stock has.

hahaha..if you want to know..CM is a special ROM I guess, more unlock option on kernel than stock ROM, so I can say CM is a very customizing ROM. ;)

for a prove, u can use an app called Tasker, on that app u can get more customized settings if u using CM. :)

Well i'm in Canada in the Markham area and have an option to get the SG2.

Someone that my g/f's family knows works with Bell mobility. He is able to purchase the phone for me off contract (about $600+ US). Corporate head told him that ATT will not be getting the same model. It will be a version of the SG2 but not the SG2. Should i jump on this deal? I believe he will be able to unlock it for me right away also. Will I load a specific modem/rom for better ATT use?

Or should I just buy an unlocked and bootloader unlocked atrix? Dont these phones have the same amount of performance power?

Help me out please.

I'm going to assume you're on the stock firmware for your VZW tab from your signature.. From what I know you shouldn't have to mess with the bootloaders to get your Tab rooted. You can purchase the VZW bootstrapper app in the market to get rooted froyo, or you can check the development section for OldMacNut's VZW Gingerbread leak that is rooted. So just depends on what you want to do with your Tab. SuperOneClick should also work if you just want to root the stock froyo setup.

I restarted the tab because I inserted a new SIM card and after rebooting the tab told me that my Twitter and Facebook account was disconnected and I have to relog in.

Sure no prob I thought. Twitter login worked but facebook told me incorrect email. I immediately tried my account on a normal PC and it worked as usual.
