[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorh3ad:
hallo,

i installed different kinds of android (SD version) on my HTC HD2, lastly i decided to use the MccM HD V6 SD SENSE FROYO and im very happy with that.

but ive got a problem: when im using flight mode while sleeping (usually 6-8hours), the battery loses 40-45% charge.

here is the situation:

- when im turning the device off and on again before using flight mode (means boot to wm6.5 artemis and then launching android, activating sim card and then setting device to flight mode) it tages 3-5% of charge during the night.

- when i do NOT reset the device, just enter flight mode after using the phone the whole day (facebook, google maps, ...) then the battery loses 40-45% charge as said before.

so the problem might be an application, which - once it is startet - always tries to connect when im flight mode. i startet using zdbox with autokill on lock, later also autokill system programs - no sucess.

lately i tried batteriefu, but this only stopped my data traffic/connection right now.

i have no idea, what to do against that. a friend told me, its not necessary to use taskkillers at all in android - whats your opinion?

maybe the SD android is a problem? (when programs use the SD card during night, it drains the battery?)

thnx in advance

markus

ps: sorry newbie, first thread in this board - when im doing wrong, just tell me - it was not on purpose.

John, your shift key is stuck..

I can't help you directly, but SpareParts has a log feature that will tell you which applications cause the device to not enter sleep mode correctly (wake-lock), using that you should be able to locate the program causing the issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorh3ad:
ok, spareparts was one of the things i uninstalled ;)

spareparts or spareparts+?

thnx!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
Normal spareparts should be able to do it (at least the one that came with my CM7 does)

no idea why...

I've heard of roms / kernels taking a couple days to settle before some of the kinks go away, so it might be something of that sort. Otherwise I would assume your phone should be saving power if it's not connecting to networks as frequently

Y'know, I thought it was just me thinking this but I have noticed better performance once RevolutionROM has been in for 2 days or so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {StatuSCheckA}:
I know there is politics for posting on a old thread but I saw this thread on Google while trying to see if this happened to anyone else.

I would like to report that right before bed I had 22%. My Samsung Skyrocket will eat right through 22% overnight if the cell radio is on. So without rebooting I turned on airplane mode (so I would have an alarm in the morning.) I woke up and my battery was at 28% I couldn't believe it. I will try to re-create this again. This was from 2am to 7am. In my battery details graph it even shows a little "hill" noting the increase.

I did hit the Task Killer button from my ES Task Manager widget right before airplane mode to make sure Facebook and Email were closed.

Any Input?

Have you tried betterbatterystats? I had high drain with new rom and seems to have been Audiout_2 which was started by the keyboard click. It was on by default in the ROM. Its off now and all is OK. Seems once it starts it must be continuously polling.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricdemon:
Hello,

I have a random/erratic problem with my SGSII reporting that the baseband is unknown and no IMEI being present.

It happens randomly through the night, or if the phone reboots itself, the signal icon changes to a circle with a line through it, and no network connectivity works (except for WiFi).

I've backed my \EFS up previously and restored that with no luck, re flashed my modem with no luck.

Usually the fix is to reboot the phone a few more times and eventually it comes back on.

I've got an app called 'network' which gives me various stats on the connectivity type etc (from my nexus one days) under 'Set preferred network type: I have an extra entry called 'Unknown' which gets selected by the phone, and changing this to one of the GSM variants doesn't have any effect.

Like I said, it's random and not much of a show stopper right now since I'm thinking it's a software problem. I don't want to RMA my handset just yet.

I have seen some other threads where people seem to have this permanently and there are no resolutions provided in the threads.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Kind Regards,

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrateshpinge:
I m relieved to know someone else also has this problem. Last Sunday my handset just hanged on lockscreen, so I pulled out battery, reinserted it and sim stopped detecting, so I tried couple of restarts, factory resets still nothing. So flashed firmware a couple of times still nothing. So when I checked if firmware was flashed correctly, the baseband was showing unknown and IMEI was completely blank. Handset is still in warranty so I don't want to take any chances, I am sending it in on Monday. Will keep you posted on what happens. Let me know if ur problem is solved.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricdemon:
Phone started regularly reporting that the SIM wasn't inserted so a quick phone call to O2 and a courier is coming to pick the handset up tomorrow.

Still under warranty so they should be able to fix/replace it.

Pain in the backside though to back up everything and then reinstalling it again when it comes back (either repaired, or a new/replacement one)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricdemon:
Right,

I got it back.

Apparently they identified it as a faulty SIM card slot. I was sceptical of this at first, but I persevered with it.

Surely enough, 1 day into using it, the same happened.

Back to the repair centre with photographic evidence of the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x-cimo:
Same happened to me a few night ago, removing the sim and re-inserting it fixed the problem for me.

I haven't seen it again yet.

I was on the stock firmware and insecure kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkcode31337:
me too... never been update or using any clockmod firmware..it just suddenly happen... any other way to fix this...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaKTaiL:
I'm also having the same problem for days now. My phone is full stock, never rooted it, never installed and unsecure kernel.

It randomly loses IMEI, Baseband and GSM signal. Sometimes it comes back after rebooting phone, but sometimes it seems to be permanent.

Hi all

Can anyone recommend an app that completly blocks all data being used on cm7. Im going to thailand then living in oz for a year so dont want any unexpected bills. Id be getting a local sim in oz but need to ensure i dont get any data charges until then.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] fabarati:
Open the settings app > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks.

There you enable and disable Data. Or at least it should be there.
[LG Optimus 2x] paul_cad44:

I'm currently on ext 3 can i just go to ext 4? The rom im on is rcmix I haven't updated for ages I want to put a new rom on but everything appears to be on ext4 now including new recoveries? I'm confused and don't want to ruin my phone can someone help please?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayan8teen:
Yes. You can go from EXT3 to EXT4 any time.

The ROM that you install, should support EXT4.

And for recovery, i would recommend you use 4EXT Recovery. It has options for EXT3 <-> EXT4 conversions.

i hear ext4 has a backward compatibility with ext3, so there shouldn't be any problem switching

I was using Wowio. It used to be free but now... it costs. Then again... I was using it when it was still beta and you had to be in school to register for it. lol

Haven't logged onto it till now and it looks like it all costs but looks decent enough.

Try Google eBooks. They have some free ones.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Is there a problem with using Google Books app. I know it's not the stock reader, but I think it's a better reader. It's only a few features away from being better than the Kindle app.

Reason I say this is because there are a lot of public domain books available at books.google.com, and you can sync between multiple devices this way too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
There are thousands of free e-books on Kindle and Google's book app. They are mostly classics. There are a lot of free e-books that are nearly impossible or ridiculously expensive to get as paper books.
[HTC EVO 3D] hankbear:
I use Aldiko, which lets you get a lot of free books that are in the public domain. I stumbled across the fact that any of the books I download using it are also available in the Reader app, too.

Most of their free, public domain books are coming from feedbooks.com, it looks like.
[HTC EVO 3D] holdfast043:
Why not just buy them? They are only a couple dollars?

Or try going into a book store and walking out with a bunch of books? Same thing right? . . .
[HTC EVO 3D] hankbear:
There are plenty of older books that are in the public domain that people do want to read. Many are out of print, and can only be purchased as a rare or collectible book for quite a bit more than even the newest bestseller.

The books that are in the public domain are made available as ebooks so that they can continue to be enjoyed, when they otherwise wouldn't. Just because something is truly free doesn't mean it is being made available illegally.

[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
Well, I have about 3 batteries for my Optimus 2X, and I'm managing of buying another extended one (3500mAh).

I have an external standalone battery charger which is the usual crap you'll find on eBay...there's no choice , they are all the same model

Now, the problem is that this charger, has a ridiculus current of 350 mAh +-50mAh

which is waaaaaay not enough to charge the battery in a decent time.

I mean the standard 1500mAh battery charges in something like 7-8 hours.

So the new extended one will take a full day to charge, at least this will not surprise me, considering the time it takes to charge the standard one.

So I'm searching for a wall charger that can charge batteries standalone... and that has a decent current I mean 800mAh or above.

It could be also integrated into a dock/cradle for the phone.....like the KiDiGi one (that should have a 800mAh current for the battery and 1000mAh for the phone), but it should have enough place to put an extended battery on it, which the KiDiGi one has NOT.

Hoping the community has some rabbits in the hat for me.

Thanks

Quite expensive, but it outputs 1A

Good thing is that the adaptor is separate so you can use your own adaptor, maybe a 2A one.

But it looks shady cause the picture on the box doesn't look like Optimus 2X

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/dual-u...th-extra-battery-slot-for-lg-optimus-2x-73031 <-- if you're more comfortable with dealextreme

I went through the thought of getting a extra battery as well but the price and the extra stuff is just isn't worth it.

When i stop using the optimus 2x or if it dies i will have a almost useless cradle with useless batteries.

I went down the path of getting backup battery instead since i can use it on other devices. (the universal type)

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/univer...wer-port-green-white-flat-plug-110-240v-55661

EDIT: you can also get something like this but the output isn't great but you can use it for old phone battery and any battery which is 3.7V

There are a lot more like this, you can take your time to find the perfect one.
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
Thank you for your time!

Sadly none of them specifies the output current for the battery 4.2V @ xxx A

They only say that the usb port is feeded with the 5V USB spec voltage and the current of 1 A...this is the current that the phone receives and not the standalone battery. It's pretty easy to find simple wall charger to plug directly into the phone that will output 1A of current @ 5V.

The last one you linked seems to do, althought not explicited, 500mAh both on the USB 5V and on the 4.2V of the battery pins

Thank you in any case.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kag:
Most of such device don't regulate the current, usually just the voltage.

As long as the AC to DC adaptor can provide everything will go through (meaning the output current of the adaptor will be the rating going to the battery/phone or whatever)

And how much of it is used up depends on the device drawing power.

Note: you do have to beware of some made in china adaptors as the rated specs sometimes do not match up to the actual.
[LG Optimus 2x] TheBo:
remaining on topic I think this could be useful 0.8A http://www.dealextreme.com/p/0-8-lc...-car-power-adapters-for-digital-cameras-41216

Regarding the 3500mAh extended battery this is the measured capacity after ONE cicle of charging/discharging from Battery Monitor Widget

I think this could be useful in the future, I will update it if the capacity increases meanwhile I charge/discharge it...at least for the few first times this could be possible.

[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
I think it is better to charge your 3500mah (or 2500mah?) battery using a 2amp usb adapter. Charging a lithium battery at anything 1c and below is very safe. So if you're charging 3500mah (3.5amp) battery on a 1amp charger, it's only like 0.3c which is way less. Atleast if you use a 2amp charger, you can charge your big battery around 2hrs tops. But there is no desktop charger with 2amp output though, just usb adapters, mainly for ipads.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Ipad 10 Watt charger is way slower than stocl LG for me. Takes 4 hours or more and the phone can go flat while charging from it. LG charger is 1 hour 20 minutes from zero.
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

I use this one...

http://www.lgoptimustestssieger.inf...usb-datenkabel-netzteil-micro-usb-adapter.htm

Comes with an 1A USB-Charger.

Works well for me...:)
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
For what I know, Apple has done something non-standard to their chargers. It has got to do with the resistance of the ground wires. That is how sometimes when you use non-apple chargers, it does not work.

I think the same concept applies when you plug in other than ipad to an ipad charger, it will reduce its current, mostly for safety reasons. If you charge a regular phone using, ipad charger at full 2amps, it is more than 1c rate and will degrade your battery cells life alot faster. Worst case, it can bursts into flames.

Imho, it does not make sense that it takes 4hrs charging 3500mAh battery using a 2amp charger. At most, it should only take 2hrs. If it takes 4hrs, that means the current that is flowing is just around +/- 1amp which makes better sense.

If you are willing to try, you can buy aftermarket 2amps usb adaptors. 2amps cigarette car usb charger are also rather cheap, but from my experience, the cheap-O cigar usb car chargers usually don't deliever what is rated and alot of power loss going on, wasted during power conversion.

Cheers! :)

Hi,

the car bluetooth must support the protocol A2DP (bluetooth stereo) otherwise no music over bluetooth. My adapter also only supports handsfree and I think headset so I also have no music in my car stereo from my X10.

I notice that some people say they have a problem with using Facebook chat not been able to connect. I had the same problem and I'm not sure if its already been said but it could be down to your service provider, a possible solution anyway.

How can I back this up? I notice that that when I try to connect through Virgo mobile it won't connect. But when I do it through WiFi it connects perfectly.
