How often does the mail client poll for new mail?

Do you leave your wifi on all the time? And if you do is it always connected, or just on and sometimes connected? When its on but not connected it will scan for available connections very frequently causing drain.

How is the is the mobile service in the places where you spend most of your time? If you spend a lot of time in places where the reception is poor then anytime you have no service the phone will search for service causing drain.
[HTC Sensation] abachhan75:
I am next to router all the time . As for mobile signal I usually get 3 to 4 bars. Email client is push gmail client as my company is using Google business app. Even if I dnt use the phone, it drains about 5% battery. If I use moderatly then all bets are off.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Since I have a similar battery problem and have done hours and hours of research including testing various ROMs, I think the answer to this strange behaviour (some people with good battery life, some without) is indicated by TechRadar's Sensation review:

Source: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-sensation-943466/review?artc_pg=9

I was going to switch to get a replacement model today since I'm still within my "grace" period, but something strange happened yesterday.

After trying out loads of different custom ROMs which all made no improvement to my terrible battery life, on Saturday I went back to the stock ROM (although the 2.3.4 version which is not yet out in Ireland), and on Saturday I suddenly had decent battery life (i.e. lasted the whole day and more)! Saturday night, still planning to return my phone on Monday (today) I switched back to the 2.3.4 stock ROM and put S-ON back on for warranty purposes. Then Sunday and today I still have the acceptable battery life of 1 or more days with light usage!

So, still have to do more research.

But simple answer:

Just get a replacement and hope you get a "working" model; otherwise, ask for a SGSII.
[HTC Sensation] abachhan75:
well, this is my second one. and i also have the same observation, after upgrade to 2.3.4 , battery life seems to have improved (OR is it just a perception? ). I have got much talked about anker battery, and just put it in. let it go thru couple of charge-discharge cycle, and then i will comment.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
How's the Anker battery? I'm getting mine tomorrow hopefully :) Bought a spare which I'm planning to resell internationally in case someone wants one (difficult to buy outside of UK or US for reasonable price)
[HTC Sensation] abachhan75:
i have been using anker battery for last few days. looks good so far, it lasts a day. It works great with wifi, but using data on 4g (TMOUS) drains it a lot faster.

I'm running build 7720 on my HD7 and syncing my phone with Zune Software version 4.8.

All music on my computer is in WMA Lossless format. When I was on NoDo, every time I would sync music to my phone, Zune would automatically convert all my music to MP3s because the lossless format was not supported by Windows Phone 7.

But now when I sync my phone using 7720 and Zune 4.8, I no longer see it converting my files as they sync to my phone.

My conversion settings in Zune are set to "Only convert files not supported by this device".

Can anyone else confirm this?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
you mustn't flash new roms in mgldr-usb flasher mod.

1)just put rom.zip into sd

2)go to mgldr-ad recovery-install zip from sd-choose zip from sd-find rom in the list and choose with call button.after installation is completed reboot.

I have had a similar problem with my phone and what worked for me was disconnecting the usb cable and plugging it back in. then it seen it as usb and i was able to flash the ROM. i know it seems rather simple but this small fix might work for you as it did for me.

if you can install cwm i would highly suggest to do that and also looking into the hd2 toolkit as someone else as already pointed out.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zjatoi:
Hi,

I have recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 with KE7 update which debranded my phone. Then I searched an O2 branded firmware from this website but after flashing my phone with this firmware, I am having two problems. Firstly, when I insert my sim it not only asks O2 Pay monthly customers but also asks for Tesco customer option which is quite strange. Secondly, I am not able to do any updates from KIES as it gives error message of THIS VERSION OF THE PHONE CANNOT BE UPDATED.

Can some one please help me to find out original O2 branded firmware? or how to solve this problem please? :confused:

Thanks for the quick response ... I was confused because previously I only had two options: O2 Pay Monthly customer, O2 Pay As you Go. I got worried because of this Tesco options as I was afraid that it may void my warranty.

Secondly, I am not able to update this version from KIES. Is it because of the current firmware version or is it because there is no update available? My phone's firmware details are as follows:

PDA: I9100XXKE7

CSC: I9100O2UKG2

Thanks again for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
There may just not be any firmware update out, 3UK was still on KE2 till not very long ago (not that i was on stock for more than 10min).

If you want to you can just flash a stock rom via odin, you dont need to change your CSC to a new one. (its just APN settings, and any silly bundles apps)

Further, I don't know how to change CSC. Is it something we do manually or is it done automatically when we flash the firmware?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
No, bad idea, thats going backwards.

KE(X) > KF(X) > KG(X)

The exe is a self extracting archive if you had read the thread, you click it and it will extract to where you want it to.

Do some more reading about version numbers.

When flashing via odin CSC is just a part of the rom you might put into odin, as it says in the thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zjatoi:
Yes you are right it is going backwards but my only motive behind this is to bring my mobile into a very simple way of updating via KIES. May be after coming to KE2 version, KIES might update it to any latest update for O2. Please advise.

Hi again,

Just wanted to share an update of my problem. I just flashed my mobile with a backward firmware of KE2 from KE7 and thought it will help to update my firmware with Kies but there is the same message displaying again, 'This version of the device cannot be updated'. :s I need help to resolve this problem as I want to send my mobile for warranty claim coz it restarts sometimes while using it and also its overheated when I use it while charging. I am worried that having a different firmware than the original one may create problem for warranty claim. ANY SOLUTION PLEASE??

Flash the O2 firmware and do a hard reset, after resetting flash the same firmware again.

Hi again,

I have some good news. I flashed my mobile with KE2 and had the same problem with KIES as it gave me same message, 'this device version cannot be updated' but when I tried update firmware from mobile setting options it detected a newer available version and so it installed KE7 version and after restart it gave me a message of additional firmware which I confirmed and now I have XWKF3 installed in my mobile. Which is a big relief now.

P.S Kies still shows the same message, 'This mobile version cannot be updated'. :rolleyes:

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:

[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
By multi touch I mean like on iPhone. Where you can use 2 fingers at the same time to type. If you use 2 thumbs on your plays keyboard your only clicking 1 and its messy
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
and why would you wanna do that?
[Xperia Play General] netorino:
Actually I know what he means (after he explained).

On the iphone it types in the order you PRESS the letters.

On the xplay it types in the order you LIFT your fingers.

So if you press H E but lift the E finger before, it'll appear EH.

Hope that clears it up a little bit, I thought it was just me and I just tried to lift my fingers before pressing again, but checking on an iphone just now I realized it's easier over there. Perhaps it was just the heat of the moment haha.
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:

[Xperia Play General] _terror_:

[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
Well then it looks like he needs a keyboard that supports multitouch. The xperia play supports multitouch already I personally use Swype keyboard but I don't use the slide part and not the tapping so I don't know if it works for you. Try out some android keyboards and see what you like.

But as said above the Xperia play can take up to 4 finger at a time and a developer is planning on expanding it up to 10.

Try this application it proves that the Xperia play supports 4 fingers.

[Xperia Play General] netorino:
I installed Swype. I had it on my x10 mini pro but I liked more to type with the physical keyboard.

Swype writes in the order you press (just like the iphone), and not in the order you lift (stock keyboard for us). It's weird because it's obvious that first key pressed should be written, stock keyboard is crazy lol
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
Mate, you're meant to swype with swype, not type! Lol
[Xperia Play General] netorino:
Oh I know :P but sometimes you need to type out the words if you know they wont be in the dictionary like codes, emails, passwords, etc.

The only thing I don't like is deleting words, it's very slow and if I press backspace a lot it goes slow and if I hit it too many times it will delete more than I wanted.

You can delete a whole word by pushing the Swype key and hitting backspace.
