[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
Thanks for the responses, i really need to get this situated. These 2 to 3 days of battery life that some of you are getting, are you using the phone at all during this time?

First for the task killer, ive read about the lack of need for it, though im only using it as a startup task killer. Whenever i boot the phone there are like 10 apps that launch that dont need to be open so i kill all of these 30sec after boot.

Why the Maps app has two or more often three copies of it self running at once, i have no idea. Any help with this would be awesome.

Now there are apps such as wifi calling, maps, alarm and clocks, that i dont use often but always are running. Are you saying that as long as they dont have services running for these apps, i dont have to worry about the open apps using battery? Im debating trying an app like Autostarts just to have this stop.

Ive done the system settings youve described, i removed the t-mobile backup completely (im on at&t) and turned off facebook sync. Also in using LauncherPro. Witgetzoid is a pretty cool program to make custom buttons and indicators, id dont think its causing that much of a drain, but ill delete it o see if there is a change.

With juice defender, i turned off the system automatic brightness and enable the JD brightness control, though set it lower then standard (i also like how i can quickly turn on full brightness from the JD widget when plugged in). I have the periodic schedule set to 30min for 15sec. Ive noticed that my phone periodically will wake itself up, is this the JD app doing the autosync? I have the night schedule on from 2am till 10am. I have wifi enabled with the location trigger, as the only time i used wifi is at home and at the local pub. Even when its set to auto disable, the occasional wifi scanning is going to cause a noticeable drain? I was using the app trigger feature, but ive now disabled it. So from now on i should just have the screen on trigger the data connection.

There is just such a HUGE discrepancy between what im getting out of this phone and what all of you are, i have to think theres some single app or issue that causing this battery drain. With average use, i would be satisfied to just get 12 hours, that would be enough to only have to charge it once a day.

Anyone have any links that provide more UV info?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
I'd try turning off the wifi location in JD completely. just turn on/off wifi manually for a while and see if it helps.

I don't use my phone much outside of making a few calls a day. I'll check email a couple of times, and may check the market for app updates. I have an ebay app that only takes a min to check auctions, and sometimes I'll check FB for a couple of mins, but since I'm at a computer most of the day at work, I don't need to use my phone much.

at home I do a little wifi calling, but usually I have less than 1.5 hours of total calls in 2-3 days, so not a whole lot.

You may want to uninstall an app or 2, and see if it makes a difference in battery life. If not, re-install it, and uninstall another, and see if that one makes a difference.

I'm undervolting a little, you can try these settings:

L0 - 1295, 1100

L1 - 1220, 1090

L2 - 1050, 1050

L3 - 950, 1050

L4 - 930, 980

GSM SLCD Nexus One

Hboot 0.35.0017

S-On

Locked Bootloader

Somehow I managed to get stuck here, I'm still not sure how. If I had to guess it would be the bootmanager application, although I haven't used it since this morning.

I really would like to keep the bootloader locked if at all possible. The phone was rooted before.

I figured I could just flash a recovery that's signed (hboot signature verification fails on cwm and amon_ra, via fastboot) but I can't for the life of me find one.

In the bootloader, I click on recovery, shows the n1 splashscreen briefly, then sends me to fastboot.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
You won't be able to put a custom recovery on there without unlocking the bootloader or reseting your phone. If you are really wanting to keep the bootloader intact, the easiest thing would be to do the PASSIMG method. Have a look in the wiki and it will explain everything to you. Then once you get back into Android, root the phone before it updates to Gingerbread and then install ROM Manager to get your custom recovery back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
I actually just ended up unlocking it and using fastboot to put a new recovery on it. I didn't know about the PASSIMG method. Thanks for your response anyway though.
[General Questions and Answers] Sund3vil:
Greetings all,

First off, XDA is a fantastic forum with lots of excellent information. The learning curve would have been far steeper without a resource as XDA. I have searched the forums and did quite a lot of googlefu in relation to my problem, yet I am unclear as the purpose and how to proceed. My problem is this:

I have a Htc Sensation 4g, S-Off, perm rooted, supercid, cwm, rom-manager

Question 1:

When I go to flash new roms I get a signature verification error which, I believe, is related to the fact that my update.zip is missing. Please correct me if this assumption is incorrect. This seems to be the prevailing wisdom on most threads I have searched through.

Question 2:

What exactly is update.zip? From what I have read, it is related to CWM in some cases, or it is related to the rom (stock or otherwise). Which of these is correct, or are they both?

Question 3:

I wish to be able to flash new roms, so I must get past the signature verification problem, which is caused by the missing update.zip (i think). If so, how do I create an update.zip? I have read several threads about using update scripts, which shouldnt be a problem, but I was hoping to hear from someone with a little more experience in this. I have tried multiple recovery methods in an attempt to get another copy of update.zip, but I'm fairly stumped.

Any help or guidance is appreciated! Thanks for your time :)

I just got my new Xperia Play unlocked brand new from hong kong.. set language to English (australia) but I still have chinese writing where I guess 'Games' is meant to be on the main UI.

Anyways of totally scrubbing the software and flashing a stock English ROM?
[Xperia Play General] Simmo3D:
I've also noticed a whole bunch of Chinese apps installed and chinese keyboards.

Is there any way I can flash a stock english ROM need help.

Also, the phone has been updated to the latest firmware via the SE PC Suite
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Flashing it to the generic uk firmware. You should be able to do it easily since phones from hk is sim unlocked. Do you know if your phone is brand new or second hand? Go to the play development section and look for the uk generic firmware.
[Xperia Play General] Simmo3D:
yeah its brand new and SIM unlocked.

if I flash it, am I still going to be able to update it via SE Companion suite when updates are available?
[Xperia Play General] Simmo3D:
Thanks heaps! I downloaded the latest stock UK ROM and flashed with Flashtool and now its up-to-date and all normal english settings and apps!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydrohs:
Could be you have a lot of other apps running in the background sucking up your resources. The games designed for the Tegra 2 are more demanding than usual, and especially with a lot of the bloat that comes with stock you could run into some issues there when you try to run a game.

Try closing down some apps to see if that helps you at all.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
If by "pure stock" you mean with the stock motorola, then you have a good bit of motoblur bloatware that is causing some/most of your lagging issues.

An easy solution is to install a ROM that has been deblured and optimized. Most of the custom ROMs you will find in the forums make big improvements over the stock motoblur gingerbread.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydrohs:
If you follow directions then you wont brick your phone, but you have to read extremely carefully and only do exactly what is mentioned. But of course, as with anything, you take responsibility for all risks, if you brick your phone then only you are responsible.

The unlocking method is different for different carriers, who is your carrier?

[Acer Iconia A500] maestro79:
It seems to be an sd card issue but not the one that seems to come up frequently about the tablet not being able to see the sd card in CWM. The contents come up just fine, but when I select the HV 1.1 ROM from the sd card, I get the "E: can't open /sdcard/honeyvillain1.1 (bad)" deal. I've tried formatting the sdcard on both my Droid X and using SDFormatter 3.0 but no luck. I'm currently running the 2.6.36.3 Kernel. Is this the issue or something else? thanks for your help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delyorik:
So I never actually rooted my mytouch 4g because the temp root for Visionary r14 always worked for my Titanium backups. Over the last month or so, though, I've kept trying to temp root (even with trying r12 and r14, and even with loading and reloading and retrying etc.) without success. Figured I'd hit up XDA to see if anyone had an idea with regard to how to either temp/perm root without Visionary.

Cheers,

Still on 2.2.1 (hasn't changed since I got the phone). No, I didn't try gfree... its instructions state to use Visionary to temp root and, as I mentioned in the first post (well, and the thread subject), Visionary isn't working to temp root my phone anymore, which is why I'm totally perplexed as to where to begin.

Straight up. I am currently using ZenDroid 2.1.1, but have encountered this problem on several roms and so have others. The person on the other side gets a horrible echo. I just moved to a house where my reception is horrible, and I need this to work properly. My wife and I both have vibrants.

The bottom line - be the first to deliver to me a non echoing, functional t-mobile wifi calling app for froyo, and I Paypal you $50. I prefer to have it work on zen droid, but if there is no other way, I will change to another froyo rom to have this work properly. I just have to confirm it has fixed my problems before payment, and $50 is yours. No BS.

Anyone up to the challenge?

Did you see the info that Lotherius posted in my thread on this? Its under your last posts, looks like its a definite app problem, although turning the volume down on your earpiece may give you a work around solution.

I'm on Asgard and folks tell me there's no echo, which is a first. Give it a whirl?
[Vibrant General] angryattheworld:
Yeah I saw it, what I am looking for now is actually to get the app fixed , if someone has the time...

Everything he said makes sense, and I will have to try the volume thing to see how it works. I posted this before I saw what he said on the ZenDroid thread.

As far as the incentive, I think it is a good idea. I am totally not trying to be a smartass, when I say it would not be the first time something unfixable on this phone was fixed by some great minds on this forum. I'm trying to motivate someone to try and overcome a difficult, perhaps insurmountable obstacle.

NP, and, certainly not trying to push. I am not an EDT fanboy, but I have tried at least 8-10 2.3.4-2.3.5 ROMs, just about giving up, and saying Nexus Prime is prolly less than 2 months away. On a final whim I tried Asgard, and with this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

despite myself, I actually have working GPS that is equal to or better than any FroYo ROM I have used. I am on my 3rd replacement Vib. and the first 2 sucked wind as far as GPS went, so I KNOW bad GPS. I saw another poster (and I should have bookmarked the quote) say something to the effect that anything that could possibly be a GB bug he has managed to experience on his Vib. +1... The problem is that no 2 phones are the same, so YMMV, but I am now, albeit reluctantly, a believer that GB can have awesome GPS. Just my 4 cents.

I use my gps on a daily basis as a must for my business and im on miui revamped and have been for a couple months..these guys have got the gps goin on,its fast,accurate and i haven't driven off a cliff or into the ocean yet.

Thanks nick. Is a form of wifi calling working on miui? Did not think it was, guess its the only thing keeping me off it now. Things changed for me moving to the new place, but after a few hiccups, the studio should be at 100% in about two weeks. Its always something, right?

I would have tried your rom earlier, but I just lack the time to do the switching around nowadays. Had to go back to froyo and stay for awhile.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ResmeN:
Hi Guys,

I've bought many aftermarket cables such as wall chargers, car chargers, usb charger cables etc for my S2 but none of them go in and out of the phone as easy as the genuine wall and pc charger cables that come with the phone in the box.

I think for ease of use I will purchase some genuine cables or are there aftermarket cables out there that you vouch are easy to operate? For example the aftermarket usb cable I have at home is a real pain to get on and off.

I need the following items:

Long cable wall charger

Usb pc cable (preferably tad longer cable than stock)

Car charger

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pukemon:
i highly recommend an oem car charger. i would get an oem or good quality wall wort charger. with solid amperage rating. don't cheap out or you'll be buying more. micro usb cable try monoprice.com to see if they have the length you want. might want to see if they have oem chargers their too. their wall chargers are ok. i wouldn't recommend their car chargers if you happen to look there also.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] moooxooom:
I get mine from monoprice.com

It has gold plated cables, and they're cheap. I find them easy to go in and out, but the cables are stiffer and thicker and less flexible, with harder plasticky covering. The cables also has a ferrous core too, which helps with data transmission over longer distances.

Easily the best and cheapest cables I got.

Alternatively there's a ebay guy whom I buy from, he can customise the cable length for you, and the cables are in soft rubber like covering, but his cables aren't the cheapest around, but his service is good, and he includes DHL shipping into the price of his stuff. Let me know if you want to have his name (i've to go dig it up)

As for car chargers, my opinion is to get a cheap one, they will provide about 1A - 2A draw which is much more than enough. The phone can't draw more than 900mA of current anyway (even when I chilled it with ice). I've a cheap one, with 2 USB ports, and it charges 2 SGS2s at the same time just fine (me and my gf's).

[HTC EVO 3D] ibejaminben:
Simple

Ok first off odds are you have the latest radio go into settings>about phone> software information>more if your baseband version is 0.97.10.0808 you have the newest radio. To flash the synergy rom download the appropriate file plug in your phone to your computer and move the zipped file to the root of your SD card don't unzip it move the whole zipped file. Power off your phone and then holding the power button and the volume down button your phone will reboot just keep holding them until it does you will be at the boot loader after it runs through the loading option scroll down to recovery press the power button to go to recovery. Once in recovery scroll down to apply zip from sd card press the power button press the power button gain on choose zip from sd card you should now see the synergy rom you place there on the root of you SD card press the power button again to flash the rom once it had finished continue going back until you get to the main screen and click on reboot phone viola your done you don't need a different kernal the one that comes with the rom works just fin hope this helps if you get stuck you cam PM me and I will try and help
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
if your going to flash synergy use the offical build i wouldnt use the unoffical till u have tried out the rom. firt you will place the rom on sd card it doesnt matter where as long as you know where it is when you go into recovery after that reboot your phone then if you want flash a kernal you will also do that in recovery as for radios there is a sticky post in the cdma dev thread where it says root/roms/guide just go to the radio section if you have anymore questions ir need help with anything you can pm me anytime i will be more than happy to help

Hey so I installed synergy and ran into a few issues with it. One issue was none of the restart shutdown options function how they are support to. Most just reboot the phone rather than booting into recovery or shutting down. I also couldn't restore batch backups in titanium backup. I had a few other issues that are currently slipping my mind. Could this be happening because I'm using my stock kernel?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djshifted:
I'm currently running MiniCM7 Pro - V7 (paul-xxx) on my U20i. Before I get started, I will say a few things...

I am not running the V7x hotfix

I have not yet done a reinstall

I did do a factory reset full wipe before installing with CWM recovery

I also wiped the davlik cache prior to install

I previously was using Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 based on MiniCM for MiniPro (v15.0) (slade87) (changed due to market issue)

The issue I have currently is that during charging the phone may become unresponsive (via usb or standard charging) The phone is still on (have received a call in this state), however none of the buttons can make the phone come out of sleep and bring up the lock screen. The only thing i have been able to do is pull the battery to reset the phone and be able to turn it back on. My current fix is to disable sleep during charging, and it has not had issues since. One time only it would not recognize the sd card but a reboot fixed that. I am curious if anyone else has experienced this issue before I do a full wipe then try to reinstall the rom. Other than this issue (which is probably my own fault) this rom is phenomenal, and I have had no other issues with it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] suchevent:
i've used the rom but never had an issue like the one you are describing.

just curious, are you using setcpu's screen off profile?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] djshifted:
Everything so far is stock as the ROM comes, though I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware issue...

Another issue I have had is even on the stock ROM sometimes if I unplug the charger the charging indicator light stays on (and matches the color it should for charge level) and the icon at the top indicates it is still charging, and nothing but a reboot will make it go away.
