Battery life for me is mostly improved. I say mostly because in weak coverage areas this thing destroys battery life fast! 20% or more per hour kind of fast. Still better than stock, but not much in weak coverage.

Strong coverage areas, phone is much improved for battery life. Seems to be a baseband issue. Hint hint Moto.

What I have noticed the most, is that my data roaming enabled setting actually sticks now, even if i lose coverage. For me, that was one of the biggest things against this phone. It made my data so impossible to stay connected, it almost wasn't woth having.

I too have the official Moto extended battery, but i still struggle to get 24 hours out of my device with very mild usage. For example, i am at 15 hours now, no wi-fi usage, no bluetooth usage, both off, cdma mode only and display on time of 23 minutes total for that time. I'm now at 15%.

My other phones, 2 Eris, and 1 Inc2, get anywhere from 2.5-4 days on this kind of use. I am thinking about ditching this battery monger for an Inc2 until Moto gets their shnizit together, or CM7 is available via a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader.

I am loving having my data available without needing to recheck the data roaming box 100 times a day, and other fixes. I am glad i used the leaked update, as my phone was close to a brick without it anyhow.

Now all we need is the new soak test update to ensure we're official...my gut tells me we are.

Anyone else having issues with Swype predicting in Spanish after the leaked update was applied? Only happens in one app for me, so far.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Lol the thing is I live in NYC so there are no weak coverage areas except the subway and I put my phone in airplane mode during those times.

Im sure we wont have any problems updating when the new OTA hits (whether through legit ways or otherwise)

Divide by zero, I dare you...
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
The battery icon is misleading after the update. 60% - 70% reads more like 80% or 90%
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Would another battery widget fix that?

Divide by zero, I dare you...
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
Yes.

The battery stats (system reported percentage) appear unchanged, it's just the rendering of the stock icon that seems to be different.

*EDIT*

I use Battery Circle, as it reports in increments of 1%. I'm sure there are others.
[Motorola Droid 3] WarER4X:
Post-update, my battery usage has been noticeably improved. Before updating, it seemed that my battery drained at about the same rate regardless of how much or how little I actually used the phone (excepting major battery hogs, like fancy games or navigation). Now, the drop, when not being used, is significantly slower compared to before. Battery drain when actually using the phone seems about the same. So, overall, I'd say the processes like phone idle and cell standby have been optimized to great success.

-SR-

PS: "Display" now consistently lands at the top of the usage list, as is to be expected, and is much more believable than before the update.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Totally agree. My battery seems about the same if I actually use my phone but on standby my phone lasts like a champ.

I tried using my standard battery today and it lasted half as long as my extended one. Still, I doubt there's anything physically wrong with my phone... I guess batteries just suck all around lol

Divide by zero, I dare you...
[Motorola Droid 3] ajbattaglia83:
Battery still sucks for me after update display is raping it for me as well..
[Motorola Droid 3] magicelf:
Yeah I noticed that too. If you go into Settings under Keyboard and Language, you can change it back to English.
[Motorola Droid 3] ajbattaglia83:
After the update and debloat my battery was still struggling so I froze the task manager built into blur with TB and it seemed to have improved my battery just throwing that out there...
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Any repercussions? I heard freezing the task manager can have adverse effects on your phone. Also by how much did your battery increase, Im trying to see if taking the risk is worth it. The app is called taskmanager.apk I assume?

thanks

Divide by zero, I dare you...
[Motorola Droid 3] ajbattaglia83:
No repercussions yet its been froze for about a day now and im getting about an extra 10% or so my battery meter shows
[Motorola Droid 3] ajbattaglia83:
Ok so I froze the social location apk and can't believe how much my battery life improved...
[Motorola Droid 3] Benjamin150:
After the OTA update, I went from getting 8-12hrs of use to 2days easy.

That's with 85% left.

Also, I love that the battery symbol is fixed now. It pissed me off seeing the battery lose a bar when it hit 94%. Threw me off so bad.

Sprint files suit to stop AT&T / T-Mobile merger *update* At&t strikes back lol

Looks like the US government isn't the only party looking to stand in the way of AT&T's proposed acquisition of T-Mobile. Sprint today announced that it has filed suit in federal court in the District of Columbia against AT&T, Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile. The filing outlines the carrier's concern that the proposed deal would harm consumers, corporate customers and carriers (such as, you know, Sprint), while transforming AT&T-Mobile and Verizon into a "duopoly." Of course, this isn't the first time the carrier has let the world know that it's not particularly pumped about the whole proposal. See the full litigious press release after the break.

[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
AT&T fires back against Sprint over T-Mobile acquisition suit

Well, that didn't take long. Sprint today revealed that it has filed a suit against AT&T's proposed T-Mobile purchase -- and now AT&T is hitting back with some less than flattering words. An AT&T spokesperson told Engadget, "this simply demonstrates what we've said all along -- Sprint is more interested in protecting itself than it is in promoting competition that benefits consumers." AT&T went on to promise a "vigorous fight" and reiterated that such a merger would ultimately prove beneficial to the industry and consumers, improving wireless service and solving spectrum concerns.

**** getting real :eek:
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
How does at&t buying tmobile promote competition?

I'll wait.
[EVO 4G General] culua:
Lol I liked the idea putting the movie wedding Crasher on the title.screen.
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
yeah that had me laughing too
[EVO 4G General] sameog:
Ha! AT&T sucks ass and they know it! For example, when AT&T first got the IPhone, it overwhelmed their network. AT&T STILL hasn't learned from their mistake(s).

I would rather go prepaid than have AT&T has a sole GSM carrier.

Also, I think and heard that there is a petition floating around contesting the AT&T merger/buyout of TMobile.
[EVO 4G General] jessejames111981:
I have had T-mobile before. I didn't mind it. Taking our choice down to 3 from 4 decreases the competition. I can't see how this is good for consumers. Only argument I can see is that merging the two means their coverages merge but me living in a major city don't have coverage problems with any carrier. But better coverage doesn't mean better for consumer because that means ATT can continue to charge their high prices with less alternative.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It's important to note...

Their coverage will not merge, they will improve though.

Due to rules to prevent monopolies they will likely have to sell off some of the acquired spectrum.

At&t will gain, and the gains will be noticeable, but they won't gain every subscriber/tower from T-mobile.

But that's obviously not the problem with this merger.

And I'm yet to hear one good reason why this merger is "promoting" competition.
[EVO 4G General] Exiled44:
AT&T just has some wack ass plan prices. T-Mobile are a bunch of morons. I was having problems with my signal & this guy kept telling me to use WiFi calling & i asked him if it had WiFi on the phone & he said I don't know. I knew there was no Wifi on the phone but i wanted to see how much this guy even knew about phone. He had a computer right in front of him with the make & model of the phone i was using & could not figure out if it had Wifi. I finally told him this kind of phone does not have Wifi & he said ok we will send you one that does have it. lol. T-Mobile cut my friends phone off because he was 1 day late paying his bill, PFFT. What a joke. I wish Sprint would have bought T-Mobile, Then everyone would be happy. Sprint is by far the BEST company! I hope Sprint does stop AT&T from buying T-Mobile then turns around & buys them. Hope Sprint also gets the NFL contract back, They should have never let that go.
[EVO 4G General] AA27:
AT&T knows that having less companies allows them to control a market that is a need for us consumers. By having more companies providing a service in communications allows the customer to have a choice, which eventually will help in the price of the service. Any company, regardless of service by having less competition allows them price their service to benefit them, not the consumer.
[EVO 4G General] austin420:
let att have it. if they dont buy it, dt is already saying that they would rather shut down t-mo and sell off its assets rather than spin it off and do an ipo. either way, were going down to 3 carriers.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I'd rather that happen then have ma bell back.

Your cell phone bill with thank the U.S. government/Sprint as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poreon:
:confused:Hey guys,

First of all, I am new to the forum, but I have been reading it thus far. Now, I have a problem that I cannot solve. I did not find anything related with the problem I have. I need your advises and help.

I recently bought an Atrix 4g and trying to figure it out. I configured Apn connection and installed a software called 'apn on-off' to be able to disable or enable my internet. It works well, however, after enabling it, it takes so long/forever to connect the edge connection again. So I am not able to do anything online since it does not connect, or I must await a long time for it to connect again. Why am I having this problem?

Also, is there any way to manually update my programs such as weather and facebook, instead of waiting for them to automatically update themselves, which I don't want to ?

Lastly, when it connects to edge or wifi, all programs update themselves. It is annoying to me. I would like to use my internet manually, as I want it to connect whenever I want to use or click 'update', instead of connecting automatically, which is arbitrary. Is it possible? I miss my old HTC in this respect :(

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I've created this thread in the SGS2 sub forum and a guy suggested that there might be other users who are interested in it - so below is a link to the original thread:

Link to Thread
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
Hey Guys,

Here is a new x8 gesture module for pinch zooming in SE X8 & X10mini.

This module works likely real dual touch & it response very quickly.

New in this module:

1. Much sensitive even can recognize little finger contact

2. Can be used in multitouch supported game

3. Supports all app with pinch zooming features

4. More correct pinch zoom than any other x8gesture modules

Installation:

Installation is same as previous x8gesture installation

- Remount /system as rw

- Copy the attached x8gesture.ko below to /system/lib/modules

- Change hw_config.sh in your /system/etc, add this code at the beginning

insmod /system/lib/modules/x8gesture.ko #dx: add gestures

- Push modified hw_config.sh back to your phone, reboot

** This is not real dual touch

** Use multi touch visualizer to calibrate & check the correctness

** It can not recognize more than two finger

I wish someone will make an update.zip for this module.

Don't forget to say thanks if it is useful for for you

Also, Sorry for my horrible English :P
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] LuisDias:
Already testing.. thanks :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] b.pet93:
There isn't game mode.. :( I can't activate it. Btw it has less bug.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
Already tried with Angry birds & is working. I will re check & will fix it. Please keep reporting bugs to improve the module
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Godra:
I havent tried game mode because im not using it but accuracy of zooming pages is much improved.Good work man
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
and it was created on 15 april???
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
Thanks, don't forget to press the thanks button if you like it
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
The original x8gesture was created in April,2008 but can't remember the actual date. The module is new but the original one is old & I have added some new pseudo to it
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] elderduke:
How about cypress? I understand this is sinaptics only?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
Cypress have already real dual touch & it works withax8mt module made by AnDyX. But Synaptics is not really dual touch capable. If you have X8 with cypress then u r lucky, use ax8mt module & enjoy real dual touch
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ponanovn:
Cypress already have dualtouch

Landscape:"Btw it is. Realllly. Hard. Too. Wriite. In lanndscape..."

Portrait:"Btw it ios really hard to write iin landscape."

EDIT: youtube video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ogKfHhHKJY
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Godra:
I have just tried to type in landscape and just as ponanovn said its very hard to write a word correctly. Hope it will be fixed in next realase
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] XperianPro:
True landscape is not working but in portrait mode i can move fingers all across screen but need to move them also when put two fingers on the screen cordinates are wrong after moving them its perfect.

Is it possible too to move only one finger but having other one pressed?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Atish91:
Same. Good work! +1
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
True landscape is not yet possible, but it can be simulated i think.

At this moment this is not possible. But it can be done, will try in next version
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nyan:
is there ant update or zip i can just flash on xrecovery?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
Hope someone will make an update.zip & don't have enough time to do this right now
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ASHLEY117:
link not working for me, could someone post again please
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skyboyextreme:
is this a mirror based pinch zoom method ?! thanks man i'm really glad to see some one willing to play with the FDT (fake dual touch) modules again :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sotiris82:
there is nothing wrong with the link try again
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] bdani14:
If I have synaptics touchpad can I replace it with a cypress one?

At ebay they sell some kind of digitizers like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-TOUCH-D...990904?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bbe3c478
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] abaz123:
What does " #dx: add gestures " mean ?????

Besides I got a problem : when I rename the hw_config.sh and after that I go back and when I go again in system/etc/ the file is not renaimed BUT I renaimed it. Why ? How can I do it normally ?

Sorry for my weak English

P.S : how to activate the game mode ????
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] stoyandim:
Can someone give us a video of how this module works in portrait and landscape mode...for example to how us multitouch visualiser in portrait and lanscape, also texting in the Portr./Landsc. modes?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] argpsi:
A lil' off-topic imo... Beside that we got a nice cheap phone and u r willing to add 30$ to its general cost?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] SpyderX:
Not very sure if your synaptics x8 has the software to support the cypress digitizer, it should have the software but disassembling your phone is hazardous especially if you don't know how to put it back together later.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ASHLEY117:
still no luck, been trying to download since yesterday evening. downloaded attachments from other xda pages, just this one dont work for me? strange really.

could someone re-attach on their post please

really want to try it out:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jkrauser2:
how come?? I'd just got it now... the link works...

but here is another link (mediafire)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ithunter:
okz take it and press thanks :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ASHLEY117:
thanx guys, my security software was blocking it for no reason? gonna try it out now so thanx again!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jkrauser2:
@ithunter: hey man, why am I always come before you? at first the DX lockscreen texts, then the video recording sync... now this.. LOL

btw: yep, this module does what it says on the intro. more responsive pinching.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] jkrauser2:
LoL. at least you know the reason why you can not download it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ithunter:
#ROFL

dont know why :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ASHLEY117:
works really well in landscape and portrait, great work!!!! maybe a new module man lol?

thanx to the members who helped me download and now off to hit the thanx button:D:D:D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] T!b:
Works great thanks, who is the autor of this ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] SpyderX:
Raqib is the author.

EDIT: Ok now.

EDIT2: Works brilliantly. Thx Raqib.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] moaj:
True! it's better than the old one, tnx man :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] AChep:
Realy nice pinch-to-zoom! Thanks mate! But what about battery drain?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] velnens123:
Can someone make a video? And can you move two fingers in the same time? Like real DT?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] SpyderX:
You can but DT is not perfect.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] brapicoco:
pinch to zoom is very nice but as stated before we cannot have real dual touch like cypress. i tried playing tap tap and when i tapped my two fingers the game pauses.

thanks raqib for this module :) zooming out is a lot better than the previous one :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
Thx I love it.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] abaz123:
Can you please take a screenshot of hw_config.sh in Text Editor because I tried to write "insmod/............x8gesture.ko " and " #dx ; add gestures " in one hundred ways but it still doesn't work. So it would be very nice if someone could take a screenshot.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my weak English :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] velnens123:
Tested... But i think normal x8gesture is better, because this one just doesnt work well - no game mode.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] brapicoco:
game mode does not work for me on standard x8 module. played tank hero and it still the same.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] velnens123:
it works on standart x8 module
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Edward Kachenko:
nice work :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] adittya:
yeah this is absolutely better than the old one

if the gaming mode is added than this is perfect

:D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
It is not only about the digitizer bro, there is some other hardware issue too

I will make a demonstration video soon

Thanks bro, but I am a noob ;)

I am the author, but special thanks to Doxianh cause he is the concept maker

I think it will not drain your battery

Will make & upload one soon

Give me time, I will improve it in future release
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Raqib,

Can you provide the sources for your x8gesture module?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Raqib:
Source was taken from Doxianh & Andrej456's module
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] matmutant:
nAa means source code of the module, not from what it is made :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] moedjs:
Better than original or minicm7 pinch zoom module

On my stock 211C00 ROM
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gocegi:
better?

no,no...

This is probably the BEST pinch to zoom module yet. I srslly coyldn't beleive, but my synaptics now has a smooth and precise pinch to zoom. Hell it may even be better than the cypress one.

I'm pleasently ammused !!!

Highly recommended.

Thank you Raqib !!!
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] G.Trenchev:
Should I remove the old module when installing ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] ithunter:
its replace :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Mika Dee:
you should or just back it up.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] gocegi:
And the best part is, It has One Finger Pinch 2 zoom.

What I mean is, if you place your whole thumb on the screen, not just the tip, it activates the pinch 2 zoom module, so you actually can pinch2 zoom with one finger, which by mine opinion is a feature that not even galaxy S II has :D

Seriously, I REALLY like the fact that when i'm scrolling trough pages, and I want to zoom on, I don't have to use my other hand just to pinch zoom. I place my thumb so i takes a greater area and boom, pinch2zoom activated.

LOVE IT !!!

Try it out guys, you'll se what I'm talking bout :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] SpyderX:
Reported vixkes already on the banhammer thread.

@OP (Raqib)

Dual touch doesn't work very well if both fingers are at the left of screen when the phone is held vertically. Good job though, it's just a suggestion for improvement :D.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Godra:
@Raqib Are you working on improving accuracy while typing?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] flaviobd:
Please anyone can make custom zip???pleeeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] zephiel:
Can someone help me. I'm afraid that I will just messed up. How can I edit hw_config.hs? Do I need it to copy to my desktop and edit there?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
Just replace the module..:p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] kakho55:
guys... Y so hard to use tis new dualtouch?? now all the custom rom must hav x8gesture.ko.. U juz download files / extract it... then replace on system/lib/modules-

remember set back the permission to (rw-r-r).

and before u replace it. copy the files to sd files for backup if u wana use bac the doixanh dual touch...

So skip the hw.sh this part...

juz try it guys... hope u all understand..

Send from my ST15i using XDA Premium App
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] brapicoco:
you dont have to because hw config.sh will generate a backup automatically once you edited the original and saved it. just to be sure make a copy of your original hw config to your SD card. then open the hw config in your system/etc then attach the command at the beginning then voila :) you have a better pinch zoom :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] chewdaniel:
why do u even need to do that? all custom x8 roms now have x8gesture.ko loaded automatically so all u need to do is replace the x8gesture.ko file in /system/lib/modules
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
Hey,don't write,just copy the module.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skyboyextreme:
just copy the module to system lib modules and it will work perfectly skip the hw_config part ! :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] abaz123:
Can we play FULLY games such as mini gore or pewpew ??

I mean with 2 fingers.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] dotsen9:
try it:p
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] skyboyextreme:
not yet , till now this is just a better pinch2zoom only it doesnt have a game mood yet and cant be used for games but who knows in the future could be a better over all Fake Dual Touch i hope before i swap my phone though :D
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] proadi96:
This pinch zoom is bad for me, i dont know why but its worse then the normal x8gesture ..
