I was looking at some screenshots and someone had a weather widget but it showed 5 days into the future. It kinda of looked like SiMi Weather Widget, but I can't figure out how to get SiMi set up so that it can do 5 days into the future as well?

I think I've got the wrong widget, does anyone know which one I'm talking about?

Thanks guys!

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPARTIZLLS:
so i went to plug in my phone, and the moment i plugged it in the "powering down" window pops up, when the phone powers up my lock-ring is gone, and just my wallpaper is there? i have pulled the battery, booted into recovery, pulled the SD-card, tried calling my phone, then deleted my dalvik cache (thinking it could relate the kernel) but no matter what i cannot get the unlock ring too appear, this has never happened before, any suggestions??

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Your Sig says EVO4G ;) . This is the EVO Shift Forum. But from what you've listed, I would say at this point it's reflash time. If you can boot into recovery I'd say just boot into recovery and reflash. I would say that's your best bet.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoMiNiKiNG947:
This has happened to me for Evo Shift 4G. I had to open the keyboard and setup page showed up. What it is is a bad flash due to lack of wipe from data. I noticed once I didn't wipe data the lockscreen never showed up.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Agreed it is from a bad flash. Also, opening the keyboard will work to unlock the phone. If it's a Shift. But it will not solve the issue. Best thing is a Full Wipe (as you mentioned), and a reflash. Plus I'm not so sure he has a Shift. His Sig says EVO4G. He might have posted int the wrong section.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddahWolf01:
I've noticed funky things happening when you plug your phone in as it powers down.

Once it cleared everything off all my home screens.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPARTIZLLS:
soo i do have an evo 4g, not the shift but my thread was moved by someone else?

anyways.. i solved the problem temporarily, i flashed a new ROM and it worked fine i booted it up got all my contacts back, recovered apps, etc. then i turned it off. turned back on no problems... used for about 2 hours removed some preinstalled stuff i didn't want. phone was being unusually slow, so i restarted it and when it turned back on.. lock screen was gone again :(
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
gee i wonder what it could be...
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
I would say reflash again. But this time, do not remove anything unless your absolutely certain about what your removing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantzzz:
How do I completely freeze this service using T backup pro?

I freezed Gtalk 1.0.3 the app, but using Betterbatterystats reveal that gtalk_async_conn still resulting in partial wakelock timing :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superleeds27:
I have also noticed this.

Anyway we can stop it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussik:
Still no solution? GTALK_ASYNC_CONN is my main Partial Wakelock in the Betterbatterystats (KH3 firmware) and heavy battery drainer with about 60 min of activity during 8 hours...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diosys:
same problem with me...and no one on Google does not have a solution for this.

installed 'Better Battery Stats' to see what was keeping the phone up and it's "gtalk_async_conn". The thing is that I don't even use Google Talk. I tried to disable auto-login and freeze it with Titanium Backup without any luck. The only thing that worked was to disable 'Background data' but other apps like Market needs that option on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Literally everyone appears to have this problem, i actually froze Talk in Titanium and have had no problems but is this Gtalk_async_conn related to this or what?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi021:
This problem persist more with google Maps 5.8, 5.9 version. I uninstalled the google maps and noticed that problem was solved, issue was not present anymore in wakelock of batterbatterystats. However it's not permanent solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xflowy:
same prob here. would be nice if s.o. has a solution
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
I also uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup) and it helped for a while -- got really minimal battery drain for several hours. But now the problem is back so I'm wondering if it might also be related to Market or Gmail.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
I would say this is the answer.

ANSWER

And it would explain why everyone has it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
That post might explain what it is, but it's not very helpful at solving the issue.

I turned off notifications in Market (some versions don't have this setting; try Market 3.1.3). If it still doesn't help then I am going to try turning off Gmail sync.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Turn off all syncing (gmail, calander, etc), turn off background data and you may have it disappear, also don't use anything that uses google c2d push notifications.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
I did the following:

- Uninstalled Google Maps (rooted; used free edition of Titanium Backup)

- Turned off notifications in Market (using Market 3.1.3)

- Turned off Google accounting syncing for everything except Gmail (background data / auto-sync still enabled)

Partial wakelocks for GTALK_ASYNC_CONN are now very low. Just a couple of seconds over 15+ hours of low use.

However I think I still have some battery drain (based on Battery Monitor Widget) so I am looking at other possibilities.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
I am not trying to be a smartass but doesn't your battery monitor widget cause some battery drain?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
Totally valid point. But I have also tried running it with Battery Monitor Widget turned off and I still see the same drain (by looking at the battery history graph).

Also while experimenting, I had a couple of hours where Battery Monitor Widget continuously reported -1mA battery discharge (while Battery Monitor Widget was running of course). The battery history graph was basically flat. So that tells me that I can still run Battery Monitor Widget and get minimal battery usage -- if everything else is working right.

In the Better Battery Stats thread, the developer says his target battery discharge is -2mA to -10mA (measured by Battery Monitor Widget). I know it's possible because I've gotten it before, but lately I'm somewhere around -70mA so that's what I've been working on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
Getting great battery life now with the Gtalk_async_conn issue seemingly gone. I still have Maps removed -- luckily I do not need it much these days. I also notice that Market likes to stay running in the background, where it uses some CPU time even with notifications disabled. Also, turning on Google Calendar auto-sync caused significant battery drain.

Quick summary:

- Uninstall/freeze Maps

- Kill Market if it's running in the background

- Turn off Google account syncing for everything except Gmail

- Turn off "Back up my data" under Privacy settings

I was at about 50% battery after 20 hours. I am running Cognition 1.5.1 with SpeedMod kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggogg:
It's good to know that these mods work, but they are pretty extreme for me, and I would assume many others. I actively use the functionality of Maps and other Google account syncing. I hope that someone can work out a way to minimize the usage without cutting off the functionality completely.

For what it's worth, I see a dramatically higher usage of the GTALK process when I am at work where some of the syncs are blocked on the office wifi. Out of the office on 3G or at home, the amount of time GTALK is active is significantly reduced.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Atrix here but same issue. I agree if turning off syncs is the way to go, I might as well buy a dumbphone ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
I agree it's annoying. But the battery life improvement is dramatic, even more so than I mentioned in my earlier post. I used to get <20 hours per charge. Now I get about 3 days. Hopefully these are just bugs in the apps that Google will fix in future versions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowcaster31:
Not sure what is causing it. I have turned off auto-sync, logged out of gtalk, and even turned off "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" from Settings>Privacy.

I still notice 1-2 minutes of partial wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claimui:
Try killing Market if it is running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hshah:
I created labels in Titanium and then set up Titanium widgets to freeze and unfreeze Maps. Now it does it at a tap of an icon :)

[General Questions and Answers] anshoo:
Hello everyone,

I just purchased a Motorola Photon (my first android and smartphone) and was wondering if someone can help me answer my question.

I would like to use the Photon with a SIM card during my overseas travel and wanted to know if unlocking the bootloader will allow this? I know I can't use Sprint's Worldphones while overseas with SIM cards from other countries - I had my friend confirm it from his BB-Bold. According to him, even if he switches to GSM, the phone automatically goes back to CDMA and uses Sprint's international Voice/Data.

I, however, wanted to know if unlocking will avoid this behavior on Photon? I really love this phone and would like to use it even when I am overseas.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance!

I recevied an alert that there was an update. Went to my apps in the market and updated. Went into Rom Manager and flashed it. That was it, cwm was updated to 5.0.0.1. So does this mean that I don't have to worry about going under 3% on battery?
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
that is correct, charges when powered off

Right on! I was always so paranoid and ocd about letting my battery get to low. I feel like a weights been lifted. Woot! :cool:

lol it was quite a big problem when it first started happeneing, but the issues was resolved with 4.0.1.4 and 4.0.1.5 ( i was running .5 and cahrged when powered off)

For everyone saying it charges while off, was your battery completely dead?

I flashed the newest ROM manager and recovery earlier tonight and all seemed well. I was playing games til my phone shut itself down. I plugged it in... 6 short blinks, 1 long blink, a couple more short blinks, then nothing. Took the battery out, put it back in, tried to charge...Same thing. Repeated that a few times, trying to turn it on at different points of the blinking. Still nothing.

I ended up using the stripped USB cable trick to "jump start" my battery. After 10 minutes of holding those wires on, I had enough juice to boot up and get a charge going.

Does charging while off require a tiny amount of life in the battery? If so, I guess I went under that amount. If not, then maybe this isn't fixed.

thats how i checked, the LED is a bit of a liar on this fone ;P

adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

EDIT*this is curious...it dosent work every time when in recovery, some reboots into recovery then run thru ADB it says charging, but 80% of the time, its discharging.

But when the fone is COMPLETELY dead and OFF, it does charge, which is much more important i think cuz if you're doing anything heavy in recovery, you *should be fully charged or close to it

a great idea if you drain your battery or are concerned about it...i never let it happen unless im doing a battery calibration

You can try removing the battery for a bit, and then putting it back in.

You can also use adb to see if the battery is charging and the LED just isn't communicating that.

I had some odd things happen after flashing 5.0.0.1 through ADB.

1) My battery percentage would drop about 40% after rebooting out of recovery. Regular reboot would fix the percentage.

2) Phone can only boot in safe mode after fixing permissions in CWM 5.0.0.1

3) So I tried to revert back and CWM 4.0.1.4 won't recognize the backups taken by 5.0.0.1. Of course I only discovered this after clearing out my old backups folder. Oops!

No big deal to make the phone functional again, but yikes! I'm sticking with 4.0.1.4. Your results may vary.
