[Motorola Droid Bionic] les017:
You had me at "if you read the manual" :)

This sounds about right. I had previously glossed over this because of being so used only seeing WiFi or Cell data. Makes sense now, thank you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
That's actually incorrect. There's a good amount of talk going around that the data radios (both 3G and 4G) aren't being turned off when switching to wifi, and causing even more battery drain. In GingerBread, the icons turning a different color (blue on Blur, green on basically everything else) doesn't mean it's got an active data connection, it means it's got an active connection to the Google services (for sync, etc). Every other phone shuts of the radios when connected to wifi, including the Charge, Thunderbolt and Revolution. And while you're connected to wifi, everything non-data related (text messages, calls, voicemail) is done over 1X, which is just the signal bars.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
Interesting, so which radio keeps the 1x connection alive? how does it work when i am NOT on wifi and can browse the web and email while on a phone call? (Couldnt do that on my incredible)

And while comparing battery stats, cell stand by has a larger percentage on my T-bolt then it does on my Bionic (I checked them this morning, both were unplugged from the chargers when i went to bed)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
They're separate radios, the 1X radio doesn't use nearly as much power so it can stay on all the time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
Are you implying the Bionic has 3 antenna? 1x - CDMA - LTE as all seperate antenna?

THe FCC filing shows only two. One that is a combined CDMA/LTE and one that is a combine WIFI and Blue tooth.

I am just curious as to your understanding. I think this is a healthy chat :)

And your previous mention of the icon color changing when they connect to Google services sort of affirms that it is the data connection (since I imagine they have to use the data connection to connect to google)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bobreiter:
Interesting test. Wifi is connected, turned off mobile data under data settings and the 3g icon that looked to be connected disappeared... but I still had a data connection.

Is there an app that will allow you to write the logic- if wifi is on, turn off mobile data, and reset when wifi is turned off?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nlowhor:
I'm getting really bad battery life. Right now I am connected to wifi. I have 3 icons....wifi, 4g LTE, and signal bars. All are blue except the up/down arrows under 4G. What does this indicate?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Berzerker7:
There seems to be a bug where the phone doesn't shut off the radio when turning on WiFi, I've reported it to motorola.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
Tasker is a great app that should let you do that :)

It is paid though, but I don't mind paid apps if they are good :) (no different than donating to the devs here in my opinion)
[Droid X General] smithsuede:
I purchased my DROID x around january 2011. First thing I did was install z4 root (not sure which version) and superuser. Also installed wireless tether from the market. Everything worked fine until the update was available. I went to my settings and updated without unrooting or changing anything. As soon as it was done updating I was no longer rooted. When I open z4 is says temp root, perm root and unroot. When I try to use tether it asks if my phone is rooted. When I try to hit perm or temp root z4 closes and I have to turn phone off and back on to even get it to open. I really want my tether back and I have no clue what to do.if I need to return phone completely stock please give instructions on that as well. Thanks
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Z4root will not root the phone after the update to Gingerbread is taken; also, wireless tethering does not work on Gingerbread.

If you just want root, I recommend searching for 'PetesMotorolaPhoneTools', and using that to root your phone.

If you want to be able to tether then I recommend SBFing back to 2.3.34 and flashing either MIUI or a version of CM7 that uses the froyo kernel.
[Droid X General] smithsuede:
I really don't know what im doing so what is the easiest way to get back to froyo
[Droid X General] christo37:
i can help to show you a easy way like using 4zroot let me know ill send it to you
[Droid X General] smithsuede:
Sure send it. I wanna get back to froyo soon. Smithsuede@gmail if you need email
[Droid X General] skeeterpro:
Just to be clear...Pete's Tools will root DroidX running build 4.5.1_57 _DXS-32 System version 4.5.602?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Yes it will.
[Droid X General] smithsuede:
But the only reason I want to root is to tether. So is there any tethers that will work with petes tools
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Tethering using apps such as Wireless Tether is blocked on Gingerbread; however, there is a patch for the 3G Mobile Hotspot, I believe that when you use it Verizon can track you though.
[Droid X General] mobile_sensei:
SBF with the newest .605 SBF, then root with the D3 1 click root method. Done. Fast & simple, Then only 1 update!

the rom I am trying is NoSense Rom
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Phater:
You probably didn't do a full wipe. You need to format the data, cache, dalvik cache and system. Everything but the SDcard.

[Motorola Droid 3] surasshu:
Hey guys,

This is my first serious thread, so please hit me over the head with a frying pan if I did anything wrong. I won't take it personally. I tried to search the forums for an answer to this question but I couldn't find a thread about it, so here goes...

I'm sorta looking at the Droid 3 as a replacement for my Milestone. I've also looked at the Desire Z, but I'd really like to have a dedicated number row, which is one reason I'm not too keen on the Desire Z. So the Droid 3 looks pretty good to me right now, but it depends on how the keyboard feels.

My question is basically, has anyone who's owned a Droid or a Milestone (or any of the other phys-key phones) bought one of these, and can they tell me how the keyboard feels in comparison? Since I'd have to import it, I can't really go out to the store and try it for myself, which is what I'd normally do. Preferably I'd like to hear if the keys feel like they are just one plastic sheet, or actual different buttons. That's my main complaint with the Milestone, that all the buttons feel like they're connected and just cut out.

(Note: I don't want to start an argument about physical keyboards vs. virtual keyboards. I can't live without my QWERTY! :D)
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Had an OG Droid with the bubbling keyboard issue. So in my experience this is much, much better. Keys feel great, perfect size, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] Baconstrip:
I had an OG droid since day 1... 3 days ago I picked up a D3 and I have to tell you, the absolute best part about the phone is how exceptional the keyboard is. The Keyboard is the #1 reason I picked up the D3, I just cant stand using a touchscreen to type.

The phone has it's flaws, but I couldn't be happier having such an excellent keyboard. Totally worth it man.
[Motorola Droid 3] onethreeteeh:
i have 3 milestones, each with a slightly different physical keyboard (one completely flat, on slightly raised, and one really raised), and a couple of my mates have desire z's. i havent played with a d2/ milestone 2, but what i can say is that the d3's keyboard is infinitely better than any of my milestones, and better than the desire z's... the buttons on the d3 are much much easier to press than the ones on the milestone

it took me a while to get used to the d3 cause if the slightly larger size, but after a week or 2 i'm back to being able to type without looking, and i'm probably a little faster than i was with my milestone.
[Motorola Droid 3] surasshu:
Thanks guys, that sounds reassuring! It sure looks like a good device too. I might hold off until some ROMs start showing up and development becomes fired up (Cyanogenmod is so lovely on my Milestone, I don't know if I could go back to stock), but it's definitely at the top of my to-get list with comments like that. :D

And yeah, I tried the Desire Z briefly with a friend and it was ok, but I didn't like the hinge (maybe it was my friend's set that was bad, but it didn't snap, so it would get stuck halfway, and if you held it upside down, it would just sort of hang there and get in the way of the keyboard)... And the number row is a big deal for me, too!
[Motorola Droid 3] g3m1n1:
The keyboard feels like each key is an independent button. Sort of like the newer 'Chiclet' style keyboards on laptops and netbooks. Honestly, it is the best physical smartphone keyboard I have ever used.
[Motorola Droid 3] kingharrison:
The keyboard is the reason I got the Droid 3 over the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid 3] force1stiptopped:
D3 definitely feels like the keyboard has seperated keys, extremely nice to use in hand
[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
I'm pretty sure this verdict will all depend on what phone you're coming from. I had a Touch Pro2 and that keyboard was amazing, arguable the best available to date. After having the D3 activated and under use for about 6 hours i'm not as impressed as I would have liked. One thing that is really bugging me is the sliding mechanism...I did see on all the reviews that they mentioned there was no spring in it but I really underestimated how hard it would be to open the keyboard, especially with the thin styling (not much to push against). I always find myself pushing slowly until i hear the 'click,' because i don't want to damage it but need to slide it all the way to reveal all the keys. Also the buttons are a little smaller than the TP2 so this will be a learning curve for me...it took me about a month to get used to a Blackberry I had as a temp phone so I'm hoping I'll get accustomed to this one just as quickly if not faster.

I'm almost positive in the end it will be more than satisfying. Just sort of a downgrade for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
Easily the best physical keyboard I've ever used. The keys have a nice layout, perfect spacing and size, and the click is just right.
[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
Like (almost) everyone says . . . they keyboard is exceptional. I thought the Atrix4g was well made, but this D3 takes the cake. It's hard for me to believe I once thought that HTCs were well-made phones. Moto has come a long way in build quality since my squeaky, uncomfortable-to-do anything with Timeport! :D

Edit /system/build.prop to show that qemu.sf.lcd_density=160 not 161. Force quit Market and clear its data. Reboot. That makes it work. No need to tell people to "search the forums." It's not hard to just post the solution, instead.

Correct; it is much easier to just post the solution, instead. However, I'd side with koopakid08 in his attempt to show the OP how to ask questions the smart way. Teach a man to fish...

[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
Referring to this post [LINK], i'd like to know if someone have experience or tried this script
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
Don't know about original firmware, but Quasar kernel inside Nova ROM does support init.d indeed. Knzo already initializes lowmemorykiller adj and minfree parameters in his init.d script to 0,3,5,7,14,15 and 1536,2048,6656,7168,7680,8192 accordingly. What exactly is affected is still a mystery to me but I'll intend to find it out. Same goes for VM parameters. This is all just some kind of low level tweaking and I'm sure there are threads in this forum explaining it. I'll look around and post a follow-up here if I'll find anything useful.

Concerning the script itself it really doesn't hurt to try it out and just keep using it if you feel the difference. If not - delete it.

I don't know what it is with me and short scripts, but you can ditch the conditional statements as these files are there without checking anyway. The following script does the same as Juwe11's original script. Added comments with current values. Keep in mind that first 2 parameters are set by Nova ROM.

#!/system/bin/sh
# values taken from Juwe11 script
echo "0,1,2,4,6,15" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj # 0,3,5,7,14,15
echo "2560,4096,6144,12288,14336,18432" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree # 1536,2048,6656,7168,7680,8192
echo "10" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness # 0
echo "50" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure # 1
echo "3000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs # 1000
echo "500" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs # 2000
echo "22" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio # 90
echo "4" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio # 70
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
At the moment i'm using the stock rom with original kernel, so i have to understand if this one use or not init.d.

@aprold: thanks for your input :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Stock ROM doesn't support init.d.

I also don't recommend those values, the dirty ratios are too low and you shouldn't set adj values without their respective oom groupings.

Besides, swappiness=10 doesn't make any sense for us.

Nope, Nova changes them all.
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
Thank you for correcting me! Forgot that sysctl.conf is modified by you as well. Still educating myself on these kernel parameters...
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Does "stock" ROM + Quasarv8 kernel support init.d? How to take advance of it? I tried to make init.d folder with root explorer and put a script inside, but my script seems to be ignored..

Is there a way to achieve this?
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Wow!!!!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
The answer is NO....stock Rom + Quasarv8 Kernel don't support init.d.

But I have another question to knzo!? Why Nova doesn't use init.d !?

Maybe i'll be a newbie in this kind of kitchen, but reading init.rc inside boot.img I don't see the script to initialize init.d, while in system/etc the dir /init.d exists.

Could u explain me why don't u use init.d !?
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Nova USES init.d!
[LG Optimus Black] furb3t:
I'm confused...where i'm wronging?!?! to read init.rc or to decompile boot.img (i don't believe) or init.d can be initialized by another script !?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] navenvehan:
I believe most of the people viewing this forum knows that the galaxy s2's multi touch screen support 10 touch at the same time...I wonder if there is any developers out there who are capable of creating a lock screen which unclockes the phone when 5 fingers placed on the screen(maybe with some animation after five fingers placed)

Or maybe goes to the usual android pattern lock once five fingers placed...That would be cool :D

I don't know whether this could be done(my brain is empty about developing android apps)...But somebody,give it a try... :o
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trafiq:
Hello everyone,

Since I have 1 posts including this one on the XDA forum and couldn't post in the dev section, I guess it'll have to go here. I'd like to make a simple lock screen for my Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3).

It would be similar to the default pattern lock but I don't want a combination of dots. Instead, I want it to unlock at a single tap at a position on the screen, or maybe two correct taps.

Since the default pattern lock requires at least 4 dot connections, I couldn't use it. I also want it to show the background with no widgets, only maybe the notification bar.

Now I downloaded the Android SDK, but I have no experience with it. I have past C++ experience and I'm willing to learn, but I would like some directions and perhaps code snippets to get me started.

Inb4 NOT SECURE LOL: It's what I want to have.

tl;dr Mewants to make single or double tap lock screen with no widgets showing. Halp?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalm:
Try AppInventor ...It is a good way to learn to make apps for Android without really knowing the programming...all you need to know is hoe you you want your app to work...and since you have previous experience with C/C++..am sure the loops such as if/if-else etc in the pictorial manner won't confuse you..Good luck..Its a good Idea you have there..dunno if it can be implemented for sure though!

There are many AOSP Lockscreens available in the dev section anyway...check them out till then :)
