[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScubaSteveo:
Google Maps battery drain Solved!

For me, I figured out the issue was Latitude.

I was getting bad battery drain overnight and Google Maps was the largest user by far. I finally signed out of Latitude completely. Battery drain dropped to around 2% overnight! This is acceptable!

As it turns out, Latitude wakes up my device while it should be sleeping in order to update my location and therefore draining massive battery overnight. I'm going to post this as a bug with Latitude/Google Maps because this is causing waaaay too much battery drain.

So it looks like I won't be able to leave Latitude signed in. Once I'm done using it, I will have to sign out of Latitude. This way I can leave Wi-Fi on and set to turn off when the screen turns off. Thereby I get really good battery life again.

On a side note, my phone has the same behaviour, but I never noticed it because I'm usually charging my phone at night. So Latitude...basically...sucks (battery).
[Nexus S General] yamensaleh:
hi all

i am planning to change my phone and i am interesting in the nexus s since it is a pure android phone nothing on top of it (no samsung TW neither HTC Sence), my current phone is samsung and i used HTC and as i heared the nexus s experience is somthing defference so i would like to try it.

so what i am asking for is which model do you recomend for me and why (I9020T, I9020A, or I9023).

by the way i live out side the us and my carrier use sim card not CDMA, and i want an unlocked phone.

thank you in advance

yamen
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
This Thread, that is stickied in the forums here will tell you what model you will need to go with, it will either be the 19020T/i9023 or the i9020A.

The i9020T and i9023 are identical EXCEPT for the screen technology, the i9020T uses AMOLED and the i9023 uses sLCD.

Check what frequencies your provider uses then match them to the proper phone.
[Nexus S General] yamensaleh:
thank you a lot -thanks button clicked-
[Nexus S General] thiagodark:
9020T and 9020A is basically same model (both has Amoled screen), what is different is the 3g band, 9020T is 1900mhz and 9020A is 2100mhz. you need to pick the one that meet your carrier.

the only difference from 9023, is this one has SCLCD is screen and supposed to be a international device (3g band is 2100mhz too). Which is better deppends who you ask. if i were in your shoes, i'd go with Amoled...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] subxero123:
I wanna buy this phone, but just worried because ive read some bad stuff about this phone

Main part is random rebooting, huge problem for me, but dont really mind the screen bleeding.

Is there any problems after u guys have updated?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Some phones are worse than others. Mine was fantastic and only rebooted twice in the 6 weeks I ran the stock ROM. Ever since I switched to CM7 nightly builds, I have had zero reboots, but I get the Sleep of Death when my phone is plugged in for an extended period of time (overnight).

If you are looking to run custom ROMs, I'd say this phone is better than most. If you're staying stock, you might want to wait. Either way the Nexus Prime will be out in what... 3 months?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] subxero123:
Yeah i should most likely wait

New phones will be coming out in a few months
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
I get random shut downs for no reason... phone doesn't reboot.

Sleep of death sometimes when plugged in, sometimes not.

Wifi still doesn't work properly at times.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
I have been EXTREMELY happy with mine. Had no issues after I flashed the Weapon 2.3 ROM. Battery life is great, no random re-boots, no unexpected locks or shutdowns. I would recommend this to any of my friends or family and put weapon on it and rock on from there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Yea Ive had zero reboots with CM7 but rarely had any under stock as well. Definitely cant wait till the nexus prime will be out :)

Yeah true lol, apparently there is heaps of firmwares you can use, like not custom, but you can do it stock which is good.
[General Topics] Ace42:
That price tag is perfect for me and it has the good specs too, I will get this when my contract ends.
[General Topics] Mafioso:
The only thing which remains to be seen is how is the build quality of the phone ?

Specwise it does seem nice, I especially like the 1930mAh battery...I soo often wonder why are the big companies are still stuck with low capacity batteries, especially HTC which ships a 4.3 inch desire HD with 1230mAh battery :mad:

I doubt though it will be officially launched in USA, you would probably have to buy through eBay and there is a very slim chance its 3g would work on TMO USA bands :( Might work on AT&T but that's no good...

Sounds like you've never used miui...You can make it look okey anything you want, I've had it look like sense,honeycomb,mysense, touchwiz, gingerbread,etc. My miui doesn't look anything like the stock one. Miui has high customization potential, its not restricted...

[General Topics] PharmCAT:
Something I am wondering is how it will be implemented. Will it require ClockworkMod, superuser, etc.? That stuff seems like things that you somewhat need to know what you are doing when actually using them.

But other then that, muiu seems like a rom that is fit for its own phone, without rom manager and superuser installed, I don't see how an "average user" can really mess something up.
[General Topics] Ace42:
I think the phone will be sold unlocked, or will be rootable with no locked bootloader. I doubt it will have CWM out of the box and superuser, it will be unrooted just like any other stock manufacture ROM. But I have the feeling devs here will pick this phone and it will get so much support.

[General Topics] supermult:
i honestly think this phone wont be a great success. i can't imagine that its really that easy to produce an awesome and cheap like this. i mean there must be a reason why we haven't seen a company that sells superphones super cheap with just Aosp on it.

i guess this thing will end up in one of 3 cases.

case 1: too limited.. if there are just not enough phones to sell and it gets outdated until its really available.

case 2: the average consumer won't notice it, because of lack of advertising.

case 3: Apple sues them.. ^^ seems likely to me
[General Topics] Ace42:
It doesn't cost as much as you think to produce these parts, for example the Iphone4 cost around 200 to make just 1-based on an article from last year...And it cost 400+ to buy one off contract...So that means that companies charge a lot more in order to make a profit. Now imagine this is the similar for the M1, it could cost them very little to create a device. And in China android is popular, in Asia samsung and others have a big footing there-so I imagine this phone will do good....The M9 which miui is like, is also popular but it's not popular in the states due to the region. Apple won't get very far suing a chinese company in china...Htc already has apple, with the wifi patent-and HTC is a taiwanese company. Apple is ironically suing sammy, who provides parts for them, which is very sad....

[General Topics] cliddell93:
Very true :P i was talking to my cousin who used to work for nokia way back (1998 - 2003 i think) and he said the profit made on the average handset from manufacturing cost to sales cost was about %300 - %350. that means a $100 phone to make ends up selling for about $350. this might sound like alot but by the time you put other factors in (shipping, advertising, paying employees, etc) the probably only make about 60 - 70 % profit on them (which is still too much in my eyes :P) bear in mind this was about 10 years ago tho, buuuuuuuut i dont really see any reason for it to have changed much, and for other companies to be doing the same
[General Topics] dragonleopardpig:
From the official website article, this phone come with DUAL OS, the MIUI and native Android OS and the phone is unlocked, open for flashing new ROM. In my opinion, this phone will open doors to new development direction for xda developers, the Multi-OS Bootloader. 4GB of ROM is something we should pay attention to.

If it tells you that the signature is invalid, then it probably is: Most likely your download was corrupted, or your SD card, or ... well, it could be any number of things:

Try redownloading. If you can locate a checksum for the download: Use it!

[General Questions and Answers] Hans Schmucker:
Ah, there's the problem. You need a tool to install the ROM... the standard recovery tool will only allow you to install firmware signed by the device maker. The usual order to install a custom firmware is this:

1. Root

2. Use root to install a recovery tool, for example ClockworkRecovery, via ROM Manager (you can find that in the market)

3. Use that to bypass the vendor signing requirement and install the new ROM

But I've got to ask: you're having all these problems already... do you really think a custom ROM is the right choice for you? I'm struggling sometimes and I have years of IT experience.

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Change your thread title to something usefull...
[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
in order to install a rom you need to have a custom recovery installed first witch is not the bootloader. there are several guides on how to install roms on the milestone so i suggest you start reading around in the motorola milestone forums. Also if your new to all this i would defiantly not recommend miui as your first rom.

Guys anyone tried this app to our DS? the launcher looks awesome but im having second thoughts in using it...

i didnt use it but saw a few videos it seemed more like a app to show to others than use daily

I tried the Launcher, at first it looks good, it is customizable but I just went back to sense, because it makes more ... sense :)

PS. the app is far to overpriced.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
yeah i tried it and i agree with kartkk. It's just not practical. You can't use it daily. After about 5 minutes of using it, i realised i can't do anything apart from scroll through the screens in 3d and look at the animations. I will admit i was really fond of the design but there's just too many flaws in it.

Yeah, it isn't for daily use

I've customized it and I do nothing with it

U can try it at the following link:

I was just wondering if anyone knew about an book reader that is as good as the Books app that comes installed by default on Honeycomb. The problem that I have with the reader app is that it doesn't allow me to import epub books that I have downloaded. I've tried a couple apps that I found on the market, but they all seems to be a bit laggy with the page flipping animation. The biggest thing that I'm looking for is an app that will show 2 pages when I go landscape, so far none of the apps I have tried have that feature.

[Android Software Development] uninvitedguest:
Here is the scenario I envision-

The honeycomb tablet boots up.

Immediately after boot it begins video playback.

During the video playback, the tablet also records the user's reaction to the video through the ffc.

When the video finishes, a pop up dialogue asks the user if he liked the video with a yes / no button.

Depending on the response, the tablet immediately displays a picture/video/text thanks.

Now, I'm fairly certain everything in this scenario can be accomplished by tasker except for the simultaneous video playback and recording. I don't have a honeycomb tablet yet, and I only just bought tasker so I haven't had time to figure it all out.

The question is, can this whole scenario be accomplished with tasker, or do I need to learn to code (and by that I mean pay someone) a program to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have the Sports Illustrated tablet app working on their Xoom? Whenever I try and d/l an issue it forces a close and shuts down.

Hi to all,

I recently acquired this wonderful device, the Samsung Galaxy S II and I am discovering every day new tips and apps on it. Its the best android smartphone that I've ever seen.

I am a musician composer and arranger and I installed many musical apps on it (like musical light, drums...) but there is a problem on all of them.

There is too much latency when I am trying to play piano, or drum... and on Iphone, its not the same. There is no latency! So I was wondering if there is anything to do to reduce the latency and to be able to play correctly on the phone? My phone is in v 2.3.3
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
android just inst their yet, still a lot of work to do before they get it anywhere near the usefulness of IOS.

[Motorola Droid 3] wizkid723:
Has any one noticed the 4 pins on the back of the Droid 3 to the left of the battery? Is this just a standard USB port or is it some direct access to the flash/cpu for debugging (similar to JTAG)?

If it is a USB port, is it different than the side connector? (Different USB enumeration or device id information?)

Could this help in getting the almighty root on this device? (or unlock?)
[Motorola Droid 3] purelife82:
I believe its for the wireless charging pad and the new cover plugs into it when installed.

purelife82 is correct. Those are contacts for the special inductive charging back cover to attach to for wireless charging.

Yes, its the inductive charging contacts. At the first moment I saw that I thought those would be for an NFC antenna, but nah - inductive charging.

Interestingly, on the Canadian D3 (XT860 4G) this area has a rubber cover and no electrical contacts. I haven't tried to lift the rubber, but for now I assume XT860 isn't compatible with the inductive charging cover.
