In theory this is a helpful app for those who aren't looking to sync devices during these intervals of having the screen off.

But I think in the case of the WiFi only Xoom this isnt necessary because WiFi turns off during screen off anyway right?

And on 3G it may prove to be more helpful because of sync. But the number one killer of battery on a tablet should be the display.

Anyway, good call for the app. Thanks for sharing with the community.
[Xoom General] SuicideMyk:
I dunno I don't experience that much battery drain, I been getting around 4 days with causal use (wifi model)

...and why would you want to be in air plane mode when the screen turns off on your phone?? You wont be able to receive phone calls or messages. mind as well turn off the phone at that point lol
[Xoom General] Vistaus:
But at least we have no Amoled-display. Amoled is the most consuming type of display.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
No, you have a choice and HC3.2 has a bug that can cause random reboots unless wifi sleep policy is set to never. Don't know how this would affect that issue.
[Xoom General] rohit3192:
In moray rom it is one touch on/off(notification area)

so,while watching movies or listening songs one can turn off the wi-fi.
[Xoom General] z06mike:
I worded that wrong. Obviously, your battery will drain more WHEN YOU ARE USING IT and the screen is on.

For many people, myself included, the "standby" battery loss/drain is excessive. This app helps A TON with that.
[Xoom General] dshearn:
Mike the majority of understand you what you mean.

Some tablets spend most of their time and energy "waiting" to be used.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I can't complain too much about my battery life. My Wifi is always on 24/7 even when the screen is off or I am not using it. I like to be notified at all times, ya know. My CPU speed is way underclocked with the screen off so I get a killer standby time regardless. I don't even notice any kind of battery drain at all really with my Wifi always on, but a good tip nonetheless.

Underclocking is an amazing way to save battery life when you are not using it, or even when you are using it. For root users only, of course. If one were to be rooted that is what I would reccommend the most for someone looking to save battery life. Underclocking+undervolting makes for a power saving beast. Even more so than just disabling all connections. ;)

But, combine auto airplane mode/Wifi screen off and underclocking+undervolting, and you have the ultimate power saver. If you don't need to get emails or notifications of any type this would be perfect for you considering the fact that all connections would be disabled.
[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
I've been running a stripped down sense rom for awhile and have no desire to ever go back, however I do love some of the wallpapers from the HTC hub. I've searched and searched, but can't find the storage location for the wallpapers after you download them?

I want to delete the hub altogether, especially since it is Sense dependant, but want to keep the pictures..
[HTC Sensation] Rsotbiemrptson:
Hello,

The pictures are store on your /sdcard/downloads/wallpaper. They are encrypted. I used a program like picsay to open them, then saved them somewhere else on my sdcard.

[HTC Sensation] civicvx94:
Great, thanks alot! When I get on a comp ill be sure to hit thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ChristianFS1:
would you mind downloading a picture called "Peaquin Music Vortex" or something similar. i really like that wallpaper, really miss it. i had it on my Desire Z, and it would just be ace if i could have it on my One S. thanks in advance :D
[HTC Sensation] execs:
Downloaded files at /sdcard/downloads/wallpaper are NOT encrypted. Just rename them with JPG file extension and open or move to any directory.

Hello, am I understanding this right that the one click k lad fix will ignore your internal memory? I have 8.5 free gigs but after using lag fix it tells me only 20 MB free. I can't install anything. What happened to other 7 gigs..partition is less then a gig big. I tried changing slider but was any difference. And can't install to SD card till you install first..which I no longer have memory to do? Is this typical?

Never use OCLF its outdated flash an ext4 kernel if you must but remove the OCLF and/or flash back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
this.

and dont post questions in development section :mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydis:
was thinking of doing it anyway. After spending a day with it, it didn't fix anything at all. Text message still really laggy.

really? seemed like best place, the program was located in this section, and the Q&A section said for things like cases and stuff :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thegodfather156:
how did you create a new thread in the dev section with 5 posts? :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

was it a question? yes so it belongs in the Q&A. makes sense i think, also perhaps trying searching the threads prior to cluttering up the dev section with something easily found if searched for. OCLF is easily a year outdated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydis:
I did search for hours, but there are so many threads about it and many caused or 10+ pages that finding the exact answer I needed was taking forever.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thegodfather156:
so how can you be justifying posting in dev when its a question? i understand you are new, but you need to read the rules. also be more specific with your problems so people like me are more capable of helping you. can you give me some information on what rom your running? kernel? bl's?
[Droid Incredible General] dark_isz:
Just to pass the time, what do you imagine the event is for? Personally, I hope it's to officially announce the Vigor.

Hit the link for the full article.
[Droid Incredible General] bigsapz:
I hope its to announce the Vigor but at the same time WP7 OS is starting to grow on me too. Either way ill be watching this event.

Sent from my 2.3.5 Incredible Obsession
[Droid Incredible General] frostincredible:
But HTC did just hold a WP7 only event not to long ago (this month I think?), so I would assume this is not WP7 related. I too hope it's the Vigor. If it's not, guess the Nexus/DROID Prime will be my next device.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
I'm planning getting the Nexus Prime provided it comes out on Verizon as a Google Experience device. If it doesn't, then it can still be rooted and will have CM8 ICS goodness soon after release.
[Droid Incredible General] renzo.olivares:
This is when HTC Will announce updates for htc desire hd and others to sense 3.0 etc...maybe new phones
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
I bet this is when they'll announce their new flagship phone, the "runnymede", and likely the bliss as well. If the vigor is coming out early next month, I wouldn't be surprised to see it announced at that event too. They also have the ruby (T-Mo) and holiday (AT&T) coming out, maybe we'll hear more about them on the 20th.
[Droid Incredible General] iowabowtech:
ICS and (not so) specifically how it will rival and surpass the then soon to be released Iphone 5. Dual announcement to include Vigor release as well.
[Droid Incredible General] dark_isz:
Ugh...lame. All they gave us was the official announcement for the Rhyme (Bliss) and talking up Sense 3.5. No other phones announced. :(
[Droid Incredible General] iowabowtech:
Way lame. Not even slightly interesting.
[Droid Incredible General] AJGO23:
Isn't there going to be another event October 6th where apparently the Vigor and all those other rumored phones might be announced?

Hi i have a vodafone 845 and cant play games like fifa 10,crusade of destiny,etc

The ground is always black in theese games in need some help with this problem.

i am running 2.3.5 on my vodafone 845
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Well, its come down to economies. Dishing out 80+ bucks a month is starting to get to me. Believe me, it hurts lol. 79.99 yeah right, after taxes, misc charges, I'm paying more like $90 a month.

So I read that Straight Talk GSM SIM will work on unlocked phones. I happen to get a Nokia E71 on Craigslist. I was pissed that I didn't thoroughly test that it was a Straight Talk phone and impossible to unlock. So, I did some research and turns out Straight talk plan is super cheap, will work on unlocked Android and Jailbroken IPHONE 4.

Out of sheer amusement, I went ahead and activated the Straight Talk phone and tested the SIM on my G2X. Also happen to unlock it a few days ago. Did some digging around and you have to Modify the APN for Data and MMS to work. I got it to work. Its edge......

I might just switch. Tmobile has been awesome. Kinda pissed that I'll be stuck on Edge, but my bill will be cut in half. I'll port my line to Google Voice, and use my G2X with ST prepaid. Just wondering if anyone else tried this?

Still doing some testing, and this ST runs of AT&T towers. My brother has AT&T from his job, and I swear his calls drop after 5 mins. Its a nightmare, and honestly if I run into that kind of crap service, I'll have to stay with Tmobile. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Only bad side is doing this **** violates TOS with Straight talk. They'll kick/bann/kill my account if I'm caught. I don't mind the E71. Also heard not to abuse their unlimited data. Anyone with a AT&T phone, its like giving them the finger :D cause you get same service, except ya pay less.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
EDGE sucks. I wouldn't worry about abusing data over EDGE. It's OKAY, but you won't have a problem abusing it. If they do provide 3G data services, I would want to get an unlocked ATT smartphone for use rather than the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KingDavid63:
Yeah man I thought of this. I pay nearly 250$ a month for mine and my mothers phone... I was told by someone else that thought of it and tried there would be no more 3g or 4g data speeds and I just can't live like that. I'll just keep on keeping on. Cheaper than big red :-)

Sent from my MeGaBoT Transformer!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Yes, AT&T Phone is what will work.

Did speed tests on E71. Its the only phone I have with 3G AT&T Radio. Speeds were great.

And you know the sad part is, the other phones for AT&T aren't that great. Granted, G2X has problems but its a way better phone. Samsung Galaxy SII is only phone I could possible leave for.

Still testing and brainstorming this. I have an idea what to do, but it all means moving to Edge :mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Well just spoke with T-Mobile Rep and signed a 2 year plan.

Wow can't believe I did that eh. But I got the 49.99 unlimited everything and at 4g speeds. Didn't have to get two lines or anything. It applied to my single account only. Pleased in the end, kinda sucks I had to sign a 2 year contract but for comparable rates to prepaid straight talk, forget edge. Was ready to leave.

Guess I am here to stay. Also got my 3500mha extended battery arrive. Hell, and my g2x wont have a battery problem.

Guess should have checked all this before doing this straight talk experiment. Dam I feel like fool. Oh well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you agreed to a two year plan you should have got another G2X or Sensation for free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Not Exactly. He got the value plan that comes with out any discounted phone. With free phone the same plan will cost $80.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Yes, what he said, I had the plan where I pay full price for my phones.

Anyhow, I called this morning and turns out the customer service rep messed up and misspoke. That 49.99 was in error and did require 2 lines. I had one, an was pushed to the 59.99 actually it was more like 65.00

But whatever, going to T-mobile prepaid. I reversed the contract. Wow that was quickest back pedal ever. I used to need 4G but rarely use it now a days. I'm really looking to pay $50 a month. Prepaid is my only option, until I get a AT&T phone and revisit straight talk.

But whatever. Just looking to not have expensive bill each month.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aceofserenity:
Wow I didn't realize how expensive plans were in the US.

My I pay $30/mo for unlimited data, text, and talk (voicemail+call display, etc. too).

Only downside is the coverage area is relatively small (but thats okay, it has it where I live and work)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Works out about right...

30 dollars Canadian = 80 dollars US.

[added in case the attempt at humor isn't seen. But its damn close. The dollar is in the toilet.]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
I had the $79.99 1500 min, unlim text, 5 gb 4g data, but signed up for the Tmobile Value Plan and paid a $200 migration fee.

Now I get 500 mins, unlimited wifi mins, unlim text, 2gb 4G data then unlim throttled speed for 49.99 and a 15% discount which makes it 42.50 a month. Not bad. They charged me a second $200 migration fee the second month and had to speak to a manager who took care of the bogus fee. Thank god I caught that and canceled my autobill with Tmobile since then.

You have to use your own Tmobile phone with the Value Plan. I was lucky enough to have ONE full upgrade available on my account due to the problems I had with the G2X. Don't know if I will use it for the Samsung Hercules. If you want a new phone with this program Tmobile will give you a payment plan of 21 months on the phones purchased at Tmobile retail or online website with the value plan. $500 full price phone would be 21 monthly payments of $23 added to your phone bill. I would rather get a used phone from Ebay or Craigs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Unlimited WiFi Minutes? You mean you didn't have unlimited WiFi minutes before?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chisleu:
Yeah, get a ATT android phone (I like the Atrix) if you want 3g on straight talk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
I'm using Simple Mobile. $60.00 unlimited everything. It's a real good deal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rhodman:
The value plan is only better if you have a good device already and don't care about not getting any discounted upgrades ever...

For one person i'd go classic plan for 69.99 unl everything, 500 minutes and free wifi calling and you get a much cheaper phone, especially if you go somewhere else than the corporate store.

2 people you could get 1000 min and all that for $120
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewxu:
Hey, if you or ANYONE has a straight talk sim from the Nokia phones they're selling, I'd buy it off you. pm me if you guys have one, or I'll have to buy a phone just for the sim...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
free unlimited wifi minutes is not automatic on your account. You have to call to get it put on free. If its not there in your account it still uses your airtime when you use your own wifi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:

Questions regarding g2x and ST e71 Sim

Hello every one here.

I'm new to the site and have learned a lot just reading posts here already. I'm posting here because this thread was most related to what I have to ask. I have been useing Straight talk for about 3 1/2 years now and I bought an e71 when they first came out. I did not know I could use the sim in different phones until recently. I got a Tmobil G2x from some one my wife knows thinking that its on the att network and i could use the sim card in it. I paid to get an unlock code and am able to make calls and sms but i have not been able to get data(web or mms) to work. I have searched google as well as the search button here. according to what i read here I should be able to get edge speed connection but apparently im doing something wrong.

also tried this.

Just in case its difficult to see in the pics what i have for settings are:

Also I read

Am i just out of luck getting my ST E71 sim to work for data/mms in my G2x? At this point I would be happy with edge speeds. If I cant get it to work I may have to find a different phone.

And finally I had another question about the G2x, on mine I can't seem to get a decent volume out of my ringtones. I have tried several apps but none will let me get any thing better than the 7/7 on the volume slider. Does any one have a sujestion for boosting the ringtone volume? or am I just out of luck on that too?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Even though I dumped straight talk, now you don't even need to buy their E71 phone. They sell the SIM

Here are the APN Settings. I'll tell you, the G2X has some weird, and I do mean very weird settings. You use 1 APN for MMS and Data.

DELETE ALL APN then create a new APN

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: <Whatever you want to call it>

APN: wap.cingular

Username: wap@cingulargprs.com

Password: cingular1

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MMC:310

MNC:410

Here is some Extra Info:

att.mvno

Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

Voicemailbox: 12624169900

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the thing, Create the APN with the settings above. If it doesn't work, look at the Extra Info and play around with those settings. I had to mess with this settings for few days before I got it to work.

The G2X refuses work with import APN Settings that are out there. I found APN settings import on the Howard forums. They will work on any other device EXCEPT G2X which sucks. Works fine when I imported to G2

The point is, the most StraightTalk settings use separate APN for MMS and DATA. G2X is special (LIke CRAP!!) and uses a single APN for StraightTalk to work.

Try it out. If I still had the SIM or the service active I'd give you word for word what the settings are.

Hope this helps. And when it does work, most you will get is EDGE so no 3G/4G
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Here is the APN Settings.

You need to download the APN Back Restore from market. If you have another phone these settings will work.

I tested them on T-Mobile G2

It won't work if you import them to G2X but you are welcome to try. I have another APN import, of when I got the G2X and straight talk to work. Will post it later today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RobertR_01:
Working Straight Talk APN settings for G2X

Thanks vmartinez39

I used the information you posted and did as you said.

Deleted all the custom APN listings I had and inserted just what you had posted. I did have to go with the att.mvno thing instead of the Cingular one.

Here are some screen shots of the settings that I now have and I confirm they do work on 2g (edge) as seen at the top of the images. You can't see the password on device/in the pic but it is cingular1 (Just in case some one comes across this discussion later and can benefit from it.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Raevenous:
I finally found settings that work for my G2x on Straight Talk. Wish I had made note of where I found this info, but for anyone still looking for the right settings... Here they are.

Two things to note: 1. I did not forget to include the password and server info. The * in those fields are really *.

2. In the APN type field...There are 2 comma's, NOT 2 periods.

Hope this helps out.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mr. MCM:
Need help

EDIT: The above settings work!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skibum1981:
Unfortunately this does not work for me. I do get Voice and Data, and can send SMS, but I cannot receive SMS. Anyone know a solution? I'm using CM7.2.0
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grantusmantus:
Maybe try a new flash of your rom or try it on stock. Have you tried using different SMS apps off the market to see if they work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skibum1981:
I thought about trying it on stock but honestly the phone was so incredibly crappy with the stock ROM that I don't want to go back to it. It was SLOW. I have no idea what T-mobile managed to do to Android 2.3.4 such that they could slow it down to a crawl, but by comparison CM 7.2.0 stable is buttery smooth and I don't want to go back to the stock ROM in any shape or form.

Did try several ROMs, and a fresh flash of CM 7.2.0. The only one that I actually got working w/ data, sms, and mms was MIUI (most recent gingerbread version or most recent ICS version both worked), but whenever I made a call, I heard some strange "clicking" noise and no voice was being transmitted or received other than this clicking noise, so that was a deal-breaker. I was using the default APN settings that Straight Talk recommends on their website when I was using MIUI.

Installing 3rd party SMS (e.g., Go Phone) doesn't change anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
To fix the clicking sound, just flash the baseband fix for whichever baseband your currently running.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skibum1981:
What's the baseband fix? Can you send me a tut?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] russell956956:
Which baseband are you running? Post the date that it says.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] obsolete1:
Any of the ROMs that I have tried it is best just to modify the stock t-mobile APN with the StraightTalk APN info. Then deleting any other APNs (usutally Simple if I remember).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skibum1981:
obsolete1 -- this is just what I had to end up doing. The stock ROM sucks by default, but at least when you root it you can uninstall all the bloat that T-mobile puts on it (and to T-mobile's credit, it isn't THAT much bloat but still manages to slow the phone down quite a bit). This is the only solution I could get working for me.

Incidentally, there's someone on Youtube that was able to get the G2x working with release candidate 1 for CM 7.2.0. Of course, I have no idea where to find this ROM, so it's not so useful for me. At this point I've spent so much time on it that I don't

And yeah, for the record, the baseband I was using was:
