[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GraemeJones:
Same here, on Wolf_Xperia_4.0.3_cust, was working almost perfectly on previous release but this seems to drain 5% in 3-5 mins use. The phone is fine when in deep sleep.

I have check CPU Spy and the phone does enter deep sleep. Almost as soon as the display come on it goes down 1%.

It's very strange.

[Vibrant General] lotherius:
I've been seeing a LOT of posts to the effect of "all Vibrants vary", etc... I'm not talking about Vibrant 3G vs 4G or Bell Vibrant, we all know those differences.

What I'm referring to is how phones that are supposed to be identical act and perform vastly different. This leads frequently to claims of "LIAR" and flames, etc. I for one admit I find myself unable to believe for a second anyone that claims to get more than 10 hours of battery life on a GOOD day with a Gingerbread ROM, but people have posted screenshots of 16-25 hours with supposedly stock batteries.

The things I've noticed that are "different" about everyone's phones:

1) Some wipe the SD Card frequently on updating. Others never do.

2) Some came with no hardware access to download mode, some had it.

3) Some have awesome GPS, others have terrible GPS, which leads to #4

4) GPS fixes that improve one phone actually make the next phone WORSE. This is illogical unless there are actual differences in the GPS Radio...

5) Some get decent battery life on Gingerbread, while others are completely unusable, starting to visibly drain the moment you pull them off the charger. And this has no relation to battery life on Froyo, eliminating possible actual battery or user differences.

I did not include overclocking ability, because that's normal with the tight tolerances on CPU production runs. This other stuff, it's just not normal if everything internally is the same.

It just seems too much to be quality tolerances. As I said, people are coming to blows over some of this stuff. When I see someone claim they get good battery life on Gingerbread, and that all it takes is calibrating your battery, I want to bludgeon them over the head with my phone that drains 65% of its battery just sitting there idle for 8 hours, or 40% drain if I'm using my extended battery... when with Froyo, I get 1 or 2% drain in the same time period. But certainly people are getting "decent" battery life.

Even more strangely, it seems like when the phone was manufactured doesn't seem to matter. But the differences, especially in claimed battery life on Gingerbread, and the tendency to have GPS fixes work on one phone and actually 100% fail on the next, makes me wonder if there isn't some issue that hasn't been identified. Are there perhaps 2 different parts suppliers for some component in the phone, that perhaps Samsung is aware of and has written around, or compromised to, which would explain mediocre stock GPS performance, or what is going on?

Are there other differences people have noticed? I'm wondering that if maybe we can somehow identify the actual differences or some pattern, maybe it will clue in the more experienced developers as to what it will take to fix these issues. Currently though, as each developer typically only has 1 or 2 phones, their own, to test on, they can't easily test on both the "good" and the "bad" vibrants.

For example, if you've swapped a Vibrant on warranty, have you gotten one back before that had markedly different characteristics? Notably faster or more laggy than before, drastically different battery life, etc?

What do y'all think?
[Vibrant General] aaronkahn:
I have switched out 3 vibrants and this last one is a bit faster but the gps seams more lagging than my last one also I have noticed screen color and brightness differences as well which in part could be responciple for the battery drain. You would think a company such as samsung would have there stuff together.

[Vibrant General] kwes1020:
Well mine is odd i can say that. My stock gps never worked. Once i rooted and started using sgps fix i had no issues. I get great battery life on gingerbread (24hours plus on moderate use) but cannot get a gps lock no matter the fix. I cannot run cm7 either it will drain an entire battery in 3 hours if i do. I can run a stable overclock on gb or froyo at 1.6+all day long with no issues.

My wifes vibrant is about the exact opposite of mine i can run the same roms and kernels but hers will not handle overclock or compare similar in quadrant or running 3d games. So yeah its not just you there is something oddly different in these so called same devices.
[Vibrant General] Alex9090:
I get 22+ hours on every rom I have ever tried and I have tried almost all of them. My gps has also worked well on every rom including gingerbread. I'm using trigger right now and it easily gives me 20 plus hours with screen on over 4 hours...not that battery matters much. Every one should have an extra battery even if it's a cheapy one and there arter ton of those around.

[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
You also have to take into account that the parts of the phone can be slightly or vastly different.

Just from a manufacturing stand point in general I can say with utmost certainty that no matter what steps are taken to ensure identical parts across a line of anything there will always be differences. The time my circuit board went through quality control may have been the end of a shift and the person may have cared about their job a lot. The line stops next shift comes on and a slacker who just got dumped by his girl checks the very next board that may not quite meet spec. This is just one example.

My other example is that of processor chips. As far as computers go, and I'm sure its the same here, the chips are made from a large wafer. Toward the center is higher quality and the edges are lower quality. All these chips meet the minimum requirements but the ones from the center could probably be meet the minimum requirements of the next level chips.

This doesn't even take into account all the outside factors after manufacturing. Yours goes to Tulsa with Mr. UPS and mine comes to Florida with some temp Meth head that managed to fake his way into a job and decides that since its the basketball playoffs he wants to be Lebron with my package.

I hope some of that makes sense. You and I can take the exact same steps to wipe and flash but because of the far too many factors that can make our phones different we may or may not get the same results. All we can do is try to get everything to an optimal place that it works across the majority of phones.
[Vibrant General] gamikzone:
i think it also depends on when and where u bought your phone from can effect your device, for example on froyo i had good battery life 15 hours with moderate use and great gps, but with gingerbread i get about 18-19 hours on moderate with cm7, my gps barley works and any gps fix has no effect on it, my phone can handle slight UV but anything under -100 it gets unstable but i can clock up to 1.7ghz stable i tried 1.8 but that made it crash, so i guess its also based on luck :D
[Vibrant General] mrrobc97:
I had great results with the s.gps.2.zip file flashed on top of Bionix 1.3.1 on BOTH of my Vibrants (mfg. on 10/10 and 1/11). I've been lucky that they both mirror each other in anything I do to them.

Now you gotta take in consideration that you can't go by what everyone claims here regarding their battery life. I'm not calling everyone liars but there are some that you just gotta throw the bull**** flag on them. I seen post claiming that they got 50 hours of battery life (maybe on standby) but I don't see that happening with "regular" use.

Now wtf would you consider "regular" or "moderate" use? Nobody knows cuz every one's use would be different.That's why I feel you can't go by that claim. I can't tell you how many hours I get on a full charge because I can't clone what I do with my phone everyday to give you a number. There are weekdays I have 70% from 5am-4pm and others I'm changing my battery at 4pm cuz I'm on red. I know for sure though that its a hell lot better that when I was on stock.
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
If I was able to get 22+ hours on JVP/Q/R GB *or* CM7 I'd be there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately although I can easily get 30 hours on Froyo with my light usage and the STOCK battery (we won't even talk about my Momax), I am lucky to get 10 hours on any GB...

The thing is, these differences are not "minor", they're HUGE differences that people are experiencing. When I say I'm lucky to get 10 hours on GB, I'm saying I can put my phone onto 2G mode only, lay it on the nightstand, and wake up 8 hours later to find 50% of the battery drained - without having done ANYTHING. And then do the same with Froyo and only drain a couple of % - with the same installed apps.

On the CM7 threads and the JVP/Q/R threads it's typically "Well you won't get as good as FROYO but it's acceptable", and that's just not the case with a good portion of users.

I don't blame the developers, of course... what I'm saying is there's SOMETHING, given all these differences, not just battery drain, that is different about these phones that hasn't been discovered. It's enough to make me want to exchange my phone before the warranty is up in September "just to see" if a different phone would be better.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I think mine is the most "common variation" of the Vibrant

- Received the contract through an authorized reseller first week of October

- Not hardware locked

- Never had mysterious sd wipe issues

- GPS worked (locked anywhere from 2 minutes to 5 seconds depending on settings) but will suffer occasionally from horrible, horrible drifting issues (too afraid to perform hardware fix). Interesting to note, s.gps.zip worked wonders but s.gps.2.zip (or whatever it was called) completely broke my gps.

- Never bothered to test if I could overclock or not, but my phone has had the freeze of death when underclocking to 100 or 200 mhz.

- Everything else worked as it should: odin (never had a failed flash), voodoo (never had the not enough space error), etc. etc..

regarding battery life

- pretty standard, custom rom or not, I was able to go through the day with 1 charge (eclair and froyo). Best was Axura 2.x with JK2 modem (around 26 hours I believe).

- GB. It hasnt been as nice as froyo but I believe the devs have done their best without a Vibrant-specific leak. It could last a day, but thats being very generous with screen on time and usage. I believe the GB roms will be on par with froyo if we recieved a leak of our own..

[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I am hoping this is in the right section, since it would be dev or hacking to get what I am looking for.

I am currently using P3Droid's pre-rooted 2.3.3. Video recording on the camera is limited to 640x480.

Verizon and Motorola's sites both list "720p video recording" as a feature.

What happened to the 720p option?

Can the camera be modded to re-include this option?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
When u press menu while in video or camera mode and bring up the settings u should have a choice of which video resolution u would like to use. Unless you don't have the same camera.apk that came with hour phone it may be different then. It should be there though.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
Thanks for the reply, however, it is not there. I the highest resolution I have is 640x480.

It's not a problem for me alone evidently, it is listed in this issues thread as well:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202061
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
The only time I lost being able to GD record((or choose it)) was when I changed my camera apk due to flashing a rom. I pushed the old camera.apk back into system app ..

And it was the camera.apk that I had saved from the prerooted gb update.

Im sorry im not ofit much help. Maybe try sbf and reflash the preroot. Im curious as to whether there might have been different versions floating around. Go mine from a link at droidforums.net I believe.

When I get done work I will see if I can send you a copy of my camera.apk to see id it helps after u push it into system/app if you would like. It would be around 8pm just check ur private messages here
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I am using P3Droid's pre-rooted GB SBF. I looked over the forums over there, and cannot find any mention, but I did find mention of it in the thread above. I wonder if I can find a stock camera apk...how would I install that? I am sure it cannot be installed just by opening it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I will see if I can get that to u on my break today.

It is REALLY easy if I have root explorer. Best app I ever paid for.

Just need to place the apk in the system/app folder and change the permission for it. I will give details later in private message.
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
Will it harm anything to use the Froyo camera instead of the GB? I am running 2.3.3...

Oh, and it won't let me thank you again, so thanks! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Haha thank you. I don't believe anything bad will happen from using froyo cam. Just to be safe make a nandroid backup before u do it.

Also long press the camera you have and go to change permission just to see which boxes you need checked when you put in your new camera.apk.
[Motorola Droid X2] slinker1:
No issues here same rom 720p is still the default as well as being selectable,just to throw a monkey wrench into the works
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
Same here, not sure what OP has going on. Standard GB 2.3.3 X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Okay. I was trying to just upload my apk into this thread but I can't seem to choose the file using my phone. My computer isn't working. If I can get to a comp I will do it asap or if I can find another way.
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Im having issues recording 720p. I can click the option, even in the pre-rooted gb update. My issue is that I can not get good quality. After 15 or so seconds the video and audio become out of sync and the video "skips" for like 50ms and sometimes longer thus causing issues when uploading to Youtube and Facebook.

Sorry for Hijacking your thread, but this was already started and I felt it was appropriate. As to your question, it sounds like you have an incorrect camera app. You MAY need to flash/inject the camera/camcorder/gallery .apks.. To my knowledge, they all opperate together, because the options work off each other. Have u froze/deleted any of those .apks?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reasonNL:
Hi all,

I've had 7 Transformers tested for defects before I ended up with a decent one (So I thought!).

The first 3 tablets had dust beneath the screen so I didn't bother testing them for any other issues (In fact I wasn't even aware of other issues at that time).

After that I decided to wait for the Tab 10.1 but when I learned they stripped it of all extendability options I decided to give the Transformer another go.

After picking up another it seemed fine in the store but when I got home it had very noticeable screen bleeding at the left bottom (extending towards the center).

After showing the device to a friend, which had bought one as well, we noticed that mine had a yellow tinted screen and was much less bright than his one (He had a B7 version, mine was a B8).

After swapping mine over for another at the store, we unboxed 3 more to find a decent one that had an acceptable light bleeding amount (They all had it, some even worse than my initial one).

I ended up with a B8 again, it also had the yellow tinted screen, which I accepted for the lack of a better one and it didn't bother me too much to exchange it.

But after playing with it for a while I noticed that whenever a static screen stays on longer than 5 minutes it would get burned in (Image retention) and dissipate in approximately the same time as it took to get there (The longer the worse).

After drawing for about 45 minutes I could had the drawing as background on the setting screen, browsing the market and getting a drink left me with the complete market and app icons on every grey screen, my jaw just dropped...

Anyone else encountered this issue?

After talking to my friend about it, his B7 seemed to not having this issue at all, but a new one he bought for his uncle (Also a B8 with the yellow screen) did suffer from this as well. He even let it run over night and was left with his home screen on every screen for a couple of hours!

It really bothers me that this device had so much issues. It's a great device otherwise, but the QC sucks big time, a shame really!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atn0716:
How long does the images stay on the screen? I was playing games for like one hour and I notice this issue too, however, after I left the tablet off for a few minutes, the retention disappeared.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reasonNL:
It depends on how long the static image has been displayed in my experience.

I've seen it stay on for minutes gradually dissolving in the grey background.

Here's another screen shot made with SketchBook from Autodesk (Great tool BTW). I was drawing for let's say 45 minutes and this is what happened after I saved the picture (It's supposed to be grey!).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reasonNL:
I all ready contacted Asus support, haven't heard back from them yet though.

I'm going to contact the the supplier as well..

Does nobody else encounter this?

If so..

Which revision do you have?

What color temp does you screen have (yellow tinted)?

To make it happen, just let the screen on for at least 5 minutes (the longer the better) on a static contrast rich image for example a search page in the market.

Open settings and check if it looks anything like the last picture from the first post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Which country did you buy all these B8 models from please? Not heard of any B8's before now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] High_Life:
I have a B7 model and have not experienced any of the issues you are experiencing. The only issue that seems to be present on my TF is the browser force closing somewhat often.

I wonder if the software mods made to the B8 models is affecting the screen retention and yellow hue. From everything I have seen online it seems those of us that got B7 models are very fortunate. Please keep us updated what resolutions Asus support presents you with.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reasonNL:
It's being sold in the Netherlands for at least a couple of weeks now.

I've came across another forum where people were talking about the yellow screen as well:

(Can't post links so search in google for "yellow screen asus transformer" and click on the transformerforums link.)

Although they are talking about a B6 and B7 revision. It seems to be the same issue, nothing about the retention issue though.

I did notice however that someone wrote that his B7 has a rounded MicroSD card slot which only appeared over here on the B8, the B7's MicroSD slot still has the same appearance as the other slots on the device and dock.

Even the the link to the other forum they mention that the B7 has the yellow tinted screen which in my experience isn't the case. Maybe there B7 is our B8?

Overal the B8 seems to be better build, no cracking, no scuff marks on the black rim, rounded MicroSD slot, it seems to be somewhat lighter as well.

But unfortunately the screen seems to be crap as I've seen 3 B8's having the same yellow tinted screen.

Asus hasn't responded yet, but the re-seller did.

Still haven doubts about exchanging it for a B7, if still available, (Or B9?) or try my luck with another brand.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reasonNL:
Here are some B8 and B7 comparison shots. Guess there is no need to say which one is which. ;)

(Spoiler: Left B8, Right B7)

I'm returning mine tomorrow as agreed with the store. Asus wasn't much help and only replied with a common reaction saying they do everything to eliminate the growing pains of this product. (Kinda weird since they introduce this issue in a new badge since the B7 has a way better screen)

So to all B8 owner, check your screen and return is to the store if affected. Don't put up with bad QC and poor (probably cheaper) replacement parts!

First image was displayed on both devices for approx. 15 minutes. The other display the screen after this time with the home screen (grey background) and the save dialog of SketchBook Express.

You know I noticed this problem for the first time today, my TF is B4

Mine was the time on the home screen staying for a few seconds after I opened an app

Not impressed this is happening after 1 week
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reasonNL:
Does you screen have a yellow hue?

The thread on transformerforums also mentioned different badges (B6 and B7) having this screen. Every B7 I've seen so far has the nice looking screen, all B8's had the yellow ****ty one.

Guess the screen are used in all badges. It should be somehow made detectable without having another one for comparison, any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicdave26:
No my screen is perfect coloured, everything is fine except for this retension I noticed today

I hope it is nothing serious and will always disappear after a while
