guys, check out an app called betterbatterystats....its awesome. it will help you identify which processes or apps are creating wakelocks which is probably the culprit... do a search in the android apps section of the home forum page (not for a specific device), iv been using it for a day now to pinpoint what is causing some of the battery drain iv experienced and its been the most information you could ask for about whats causing the battery to drain. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

I finally rooted my phone (must have run into every stumbling block there is but I got it done none the less...). Downloaded BatteryCalibration and went through three cycles. After the first day my I got about 8hrs or so, the second almost 18hrs and as of today after pulling my phone off the charger at 7:00 am PST my phone is only at 92%.
[Acer Iconia A500] newtybar:
I bought the Iconia during the Staples sale (pm by OD) in order to take credit card payments for my store. However, Squarepay doesn't play nice with it, so I need to sell.

I can't return because it has been past the 14 day return window and since it is open, OD will charge a 15% restocking fee.

I paid $326 for it and have only used it for a total of maybe an hour (to try and get Squarepay working).

I'm offering it up for forum members here at $300 shipped within the U.S.
[Acer Iconia A500] shogunmark:
Everyone play nice or bans will be issued...

FYI to the OP, I have a square and the iconia, I have contacted square support and they said they are working on it. They didn't give me a time frame, but they have been super responsive in the past on requests and bugs that I have sent them.
[Acer Iconia A500] newtybar:
Thanks! This is good info, I might just keep it then.
[Acer Iconia A500] phoenixbennu:
I am wondering whether its the 16 or 32. I am looking to get one for my wife, but running short on funds lol. I have the 16gb model myself just cause the 32 wasnt out when I was shopping.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmytutone:
Interesting. I was going to try out square on my iconia. I'll have to make sure it will work on my Optimus V until they get it to play nice with the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Also, you should still be able to use Square with just manual entry of the C #'s, although I understand the reason not to with the higher rate of manual entry... Good luck with the sale though.
[Acer Iconia A500] newtybar:
This is the 16gb.
[Acer Iconia A500] newtybar:
I did that for a bit, but there's two reasons why this isn't ideal.

1) They actually charge more for manual entry

2) Customers don't like it as much for some reason when you are entering their CC info in. It doesn't seem as "legitimate" as swiping. It also doesn't look as cool.
[Acer Iconia A500] argolfermd:
Is $300 your rock bottom price, or is there any more room to negotiate? I don't need another iconia, but I know a few people who are jealous that would jump at getting one for the right price. You can PM me and we can go from there.

Thanks

I have the Optimus V, Square, as well as PayAnywhere work just fine for me on it, though interestingly PayAnywhere's device will not work with Square Software, and Square Device will not work with PayAnywhere Software ;).
[Acer Iconia A500] newtybar:
Does PayAnywhere work with the Iconia?
[Acer Iconia A500] phoenixbennu:
id definitely be willing to pay 300 for it to get it for my wife. Been trying to get a touchpad so I can OC it to the 1.9 theyve been talking about, but i have the a500 and would rather get that for my wife. lol
[Acer Iconia A500] vdub804:
I use square almost everyday with my A500 the surefire way is to connect it when you are ready to swipe, you have a 5 second window but it works every time.
[Acer Iconia A500] newtybar:
So I can't leave it plugged in..I have to connect and then swipe immediately? I'll try later tonight.
[Acer Iconia A500] xanlexian:
You still offering it? Got everything it came with? I'll take it for $300 shipped. Nothing at all wrong with it, right?

Thanks!

*EDIT* -- I've got a bottom of the barrel Android phone (Huawei Ascend) that prompted me to sell off all my Windows Mobile gear (a bunch of Dell Axim's). Spent the last couple of months comparing, reading reviews, message boards, etc... and the A500 is pretty much what I'm looking for. Got a taste of Android from my phone and I want more, More, MORE!

As you can tell from my post count, I'm not on here too often. But, a reply to this thread, a PM or email at: ka4aaa at gmail will certainly get to me. Thank you again, and I understand if you're keeping it. I'm not going to pay $400 (which every local store seems to be offering), can't find it for less than $340 online, and your $300 price is the magic number I've been looking for. Much appreciated!!

**Second Edit** -- Nevermind. Found one locally. Thank you!

Can you elaborate your problem? Are you trying to port a rom or is it something else.

no its a rom from lotusmod but iam trying to boot this but its stucks by the boot animation and iam trying to fix this

EDIT- 28-08-2011 its working now the rom :)
[Motorola Droid 3] krazykrivda:
CONFIRMED WORKING ON LINUX.. waiting to hear for windows, mac...

NOTE: Please keep track of what your doing, because if you DON'T know what you broke, your going to have a hard time fixing it.

I'd recommend NOT wiping DATA/factory restore unless you literally have NO other choice (see post 11)

That being said...

Assuming you know what change(s) you made before your bootloop, you are saying to yourself "If i could only boot up so i can UNDO it" ... this IS for you! :-)

Directions:

Battery Pull

Put Battery Back

Hold M button on keyboard then power

Use vol - button to go to BP TOOLS (don't select yet)

Connect via USB to computer with ADB

In terminal on computer...

adb wait-for-device shell

On phone use vol + button to select BP Tools.. then wait for your terminal to get you into shell (this will happen while the phone is continuously bootlooping)

according to djrbliss root method...

mv /data/local/12m /data/local/12m.bak
ln -s /data /data/local/12m
exit

9.

adb reboot

10. wait for the power off then repeat steps 1-7

11. again thanks to djrbliss...

rm /data/local/12m
mv /data/local/12m.bak /data/local/12m
mv /data/local.prop /data/local.prop.bak
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_usb=0" > /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_netmon_ih=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_core=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_res_panic=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb=1" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_core=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_efem=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_bp_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_ap_mot_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
echo "ro.sys.atvc_allow_gki_log=0" >> /data/local.prop
exit

12. then again, repeat steps 1-7

13. You should have root, now go ahead and fix whatever needs fixing and reboot 1 final time

ENJOY :-)

[Motorola Droid 3] Jonny9797:
I followed this exactly but could never get an adb connection. My drivers are good and my adb setup works just fine (I was using it earlier). And idea what I could be doing wrong?

Thank you so much for posting this btw!
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
one more reason why I choose linux over winblows. Just a personal opinion.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jonny9797:
I tried both Windows and Linux. Are there any special steps in Linux I may be missing to get adb to work in this mode? I tried my OG Droid to test the adb setup and it worked fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
you need to be in the android group and have adb properly installed and preferrably the current version. I use a gentoo based linux system so this stuff isn't an issue for me.

Ubuntu and debian based systems are a little different. I really dislike the package management system and Ubuntu separates users from the actual "linux" part of linux. its like linux for n00bs. Not saying its a bad distro, its just not my distro of choice.

But, if you are booting up your device correctly, you should be able to do adb start-server and then do a adb remount (if rooted) then push the files to /system/app/

if you have just ran updates, reboot your computer. If you aren't picking up the device, try using other ports (usb ports can go into a suspend mode to save power and sometimes don't like to wake up, it also happens in windows)

please help me!

i am having the same problem. i can get into recovery, fastboot, AP, and BP modes, and my device manager sees the ADB interface, but i cannot execute commands. I get this error "C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb remount error: device not found". i have the latest SDK and moto drivers installed... is there anyway i can install an update.zip from recovery to get me out of the bootloop?
[Motorola Droid 3] krazykrivda:
I've updated the OP.. there is no longer a "remount" part... so I'm not sure what you are doing.. again if you can join IRC ( webchat.freenode.com ... #krazyk is the chan ) i'd be more than happy to assist
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
guys, i need urgent help...

i did some **** by replacing the SystemUI.apk in RootExplorer and it started force closing. i rebooted and i started bootlooping i backed up the apk in a file on my sdcard called 'import'. now i tried BP tools but it wont recognize my device..i had adb working perfectly fine before. what should i do?
[Motorola Droid 3] highcee:
Krivda, even in VM ubuntu it still doesn't see my phone... i have jdk, sdk installed... windows and ubuntu both see my xoom but the D3 is not being seen...
[Motorola Droid 3] krazykrivda:
if the bootloop is caused due to an issue created in /data then then a factory reset will be fine (if you don't mind losing data).

HOWEVER, if the change it made is in /system.. the factory reset may reset your adb debugging option... which in turn will mean.. you will be stuck in a bootloop without the ability to access adb at all, in which case you are SOL until sbf or a way to run update.zip from recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
Yep that's me! I need an sbf lol
[Motorola Droid 3] highcee:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Granwoltz:
Posted this on Android Forums as well, but figured I may as well ask here since I haven't found an answer to my particular issue...

I just got my OV at the beginning of August and promptly rooted and installed a custom ROM - JerryScript's BACKside, and have been loving things better than stock.

So here's my issue - I had set up Quiet Hours shortly after flashing the first time. Since then I've flashed at least half a dozen different ROMs, but now I seem to have the Quiet Hours that I initially set up still in effect. I have tried to change this, but of course it doesn't show Quiet Hours as being in effect. I've tried re-enabling them and changing the timeframe to being almost non-existant, but to no effect. Any suggestions on how to remove these settings? I'm kinda regretting having set the quiet hours in the first place...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
Hello Everyone,

Today I've bought an Ideos X5. It cost me 150€ at Ensitel in Portugal. And "almost" everything works like a charm.

The camera is not great but better that my old G1, the sound is better that my girlfriend's HTC Desire Z, and the multitouch works like a charm for me (comparing to my G1)... So it is a good buy.

But I have some questions, just to know if those are real problems (so I can go to the store and change the phone), or if it is just me :S...

1 - Bluetooth works very well (in the pocket, inside a box at 2 meters of distance from the other phone... and I can transfer files and receive... But I cannot receive apk files from my girlfriends HTC Desire Z (but with the same phone I can receive at least mp3 and pdf files).SOLVED : Using Bluetooth File Transfer from Medieval all works fine.

2 - Is it normal that the flash doesn't activate during a Video Recording ? But only when I take pictures ? (Can this be solved by installing another Camera App or a Custom Rom ?) And, is it normal that it takes so long to take a simple picture ?

3 - The last one. When my phone shutdowns because it doesn't have enough battery, and then I connect the cable (without booting the phone), the notification light is Green. But, the manual says that the Green light means Full Charged, the Orange light means Charging and the Red light means Low Battery. So it is normal that the light is Green when charging ?

Apart from that, I really love the phone, I can do all the stuff that I can't with my G1, I'm really happy to finally start developing games for Android (since that was a problem with the G1), and maybe, if the time and the knowledge allows, help improving Roms for this phone ^^

Thank in Advance

Luis Da Costa
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] shuiyunxingzuo:
Mine is China Unicon U8800 ,ROM versionB160.

1. This phone's bluetooth system is quite different from others.Files like apks,RARs...can not be transfered.My way is to change the file's name(like .mp3),then change it on the phone.

2.Don't understand.You can't record videos after you remove the TF card?

My phone doesn't have that problem.

When you revome TF card,the inside SD card's file will be renamed /mnt /,means the TF card.So everything wil be fine if you remove TF card,except softwares installed on the TF.

3.Very low----red; low----orange ; normal (above 60%)---yellow;full(above 90%)---green. I charge the battery by using charger,not the USB on the computer.

When you not sure those problems are really phone's problem,you can change another ROM from HUAWEI webside.To see if those still happen.

Bad English .......sorry
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
If you activate the flash for video recording it is always on, so the behaviour of your ROM is not normal. It does not long to take a picture, no.

From my experience: When the light is green, the battery won't be charged. When I connect the charger it sometimes shows a green light for half a minute or so and then it starts charging (light turns a bit more yellow).

Did you install a custom ROM? Do not use the Froyo-ROMs provided by Huawei, they are just slow and have some bugs which won't be sorted out at all - the newer ROMs (void, Miui and Oxygen) work better. It is very easy to install a custom ROM so give it a shot. /Edit: Okay you already did that, forget what I said.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] t_d_z:
Might be too late but here are my answers :

- To use flash LED during video recording you must activate it from settings/config/(or whatever it is called) part of the camera software

- To be able to send and receive apk files, you can use third party software

Or I suspect there might be a setting to allow or disallow it, for all I know I can send and receive them but then again I'm using a heavily modified version of Oxygen ROM from dzo

- As for green light, if the phone is turned of, when I plug it in, mine turns green too. If it is turned on however, it changes the color.

- As for taking photos taking too much time, turn off steady image thingy. It waitstill your phone does not shake.

I am actually a Captivate owner running the Mosaic ROM. It doubled or more my battery life and now a freind of mine who has an Epic 4G wants the same. Can anyone recommend something? Are you guys seeing these amazing battery life improvements on your GB ROMS? Figured I would ask anyway. Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zman519:
can you link to the Mosaic ROM thread?

How many hours do you get on Mosaic ROM? i just flashed my friends Epic to [ACS]SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 With the Genocide 2.0 Kernel

I am running UrBan Regeneration ROM With Genocide 2.0 How techie is your friend? with the Genocide Kernel you can custom undervolt & you can overclock it up to 1400 Mhz. Some Epics dont like higher clock speeds most Epics can do 1200 Mhz as for the undervolting you have to test by running benchmarking apps & see what the SoC/CPU of your friends Epic can handle

But i say just flash SRF 1.2 or Urban Reg

edit P.S i like your avatar do you have the full size pic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waslost1:
I have had sporadic results in battery life ranging from 30-40 hours with light to average use. I mostly use email and never turn off the WiFi, Bluetooth or GPS. Oddly enough I seem to get better results when I leave it all on. I do keep the screen brightness down to the minimum and average about 1-1/2 hours of screen on time per day. Keep in mind I have only had this ROM about a week now, but so far it is the best I have seen. Previously I had Firefly which I loved and it rarely made the 24 hour mark on battery life no matter what I did. The guy who was managing Firefly moved to the Mosaic project so that is why I followed.

Here is the link for the Mosaic thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061203

My friend is just a simple use, not very techie so he just wants something that gives him results like I am getting without all the work. That doesn't bother me much since I have rooted and setup many phones for friends already. It's my sworn duty to rid the world of crappy stock ROM's and let people see the real Android operating system at work. Wish I had the talent of the developers... maybe someday!

ROM: Urban regeneration, KERNEL: genocide 2.0, setCPU set to conservative, any ec05 based theme and the lockscreen mod and you wont hear from him until he wants to start messing with the UV/OC settings to see how much more battery life he can get if he customizes, considering i was getting ~30 hours with that set up WITHOUT tweaking anything and started messing with the UV and got 2 days use with my phone even with 4g on.

But now im on eh06, 2.3.4, because i just wanted to see how far along GB was and its stable as fluff for me running the Stock ODEX-ed one but i dont last as long as i did with the above set up. Keep in mind that i use my phone EXTENSIVELY lol like during the hurricane i just chilled playing gameboid cuz all the other electronics were put away and i lasted through the night and a couple hours the next day :D

EDIT: was running eh06, which doesnt last aslong as the froyo setup i mentioned, but it lasted as long as irene so that puts it into perspective lol
