Battery test

Battery current after standby -12ma

5.15T software radio

WI-Fi on, BT off

with camera fix

I am happy with that, except my battery always has been a bit duff.

Edit; Well done for finding fix though! Will test after Radio.cabs arrive;)

Anyone mind sharing a link or some directions on skinnning themes?

I've had someone give me these instructions:

1) extract/Decompile the .apk file you want to MOD or make changes to. Use m10 editor for this.Select the option "decomplie all"

2) Minimize the m10 editor, and open the folder where you m10 editor is installed. There you would find a folder with the name of the .apk file you just decomplied. Go to folder assests>"base theme name">drawble>shared folder.

3) now select the .png files you want to edit. Install Paint.net, and edit with them, it was easy process for me. Remeber to "flip image vertical" after you are done with editing.

4) now go back to m10 editor, and Save the file.

5) You should have AndroidSDK installed.If not, do it. Then go to the folder where you have installed it. open the "autosign" file. It will open command prompt. There select the option to sign the file manually. Give the path for the file. It will sign it then. Exit from that program.

6) you are done, you can install it now.

I've gotten this far, but i can't find out how to change these 3 things below:

In de-compiled files changes have to b made in three places.

1. Androidmanifest.xml (name of package). how do u change this?

2. Res\values\strings.xml (name of theme). how/where do u change this?

3. Assets\shared(change this to theme name) h0w/where do u change this?

Also everytime I replace the background images, when I recompile it, my background images don't stay.

Any help would be much appreciated...
[HTC EVO 3D] thoughtlesskyle:
okay so i hate to tell you to download something else but i use .apk manager and it is a lot more straight forward.

decompile the apk using that.

go into the projects folder, you will see the Androidmanifest.xml

what are you trying to change in there exactly? if its just icons things like that those are easy but if you are trying to change the packageID it will just cause FC's

strings.xml hangs out in the following

projects->*.apk(this will be the name of what you decompiled)->res->values->strings.xml

then go into the xml and it will have a line with the name of the apk that you can change

assets has it's own folder i haven't hung out in there at all i haven't really had a need but it is in the same file tree with the res folder

now the issue upon recompiling, when doing the recompile in apk manager press y and y to the 2 options, it will create a keep folder go into that and delete the classes.dex if you messed with any images in the drawable folders, and the resources.arsc if you changed any of the xmls. then go into the keep directories sub folders and delete the items you changed then finish the compiling

sorry if i am not the best at explaining this
[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
Yes, what exactly do you want to change? Taskbar and other icons are very easy to do, however, I haven't done any M10 files, yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] jkrough0728:
In the manifest you need to change the name of the apk to what you are naming it. you will see a line which will have package="com.htc.skin."apkname".

So for my zombie skin example my line says "com.htc.skin.zombie"

Also to that point what ever you name it you need to navigate to the foler that holds the m10 file and change the folder to the same name or the m10 file wont be used.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
exactly the same, boy did that drive me nutty for a few days!!
[HTC EVO 3D] keedog:
using apk manager are u guys decompiling using option 9 or 10 and if ur using option 10 what framework are u dragging into it?
[HTC EVO 3D] jkrough0728:
I use apktool but if your using manager it would be 9.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_c6:
Hi there,

I m going to sell my phone to a recycling company so wanted to remove my root before sending it in.

I messed up a number of times by trying to install a lower version RUU, ended up with no ROM and unable to flash another ROM.

I remembered that i originally de-branded the phone using the WWE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869048, so used my goldcard and re-flashed.

So I am now back with working phone. Is it ok to send it like it is now or should I downgrade the hboot and flash with my original carrier RUU?

There aren't any further updates after froyo from HTC anyway, so they wont need a gold card and my phone is unlocked.

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:

[Defy General] digicasema:
Ìn mine stock Froyo (Europe, noblur) installation, I had an option to show/hide mine contacts.

I want to hide some of them, you know, those people you don't contact often but whose coordinates you want to keep in case you ever need to.

After the upgrade to CyanogenMod 7, this option is gone.

I made a backup with nandroid.

Can I get mine old Contact.apk back te restore this option?
[Defy General] gefloc:
No, you can't use stock Contacts App because it depends on blur.

You could sort your contacts in groups on Google and then select which groups to show in Menu->Display options->Contacts to display.

... didn't try it myself, though.
[Defy General] digicasema:
Thanks, that works even better!

Suddenly it says i have no signal, so i cant ring or anything. How can i fix this??

Try enabling "use only 2G networks" in settings, wireless..., mobile...

I always get more signal bars when that's enabled.

What is TRAFFIC widget do?

Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I believe you enter a destination address when you create the widget. The widget then shows you if traffic is light/medium/heavy between your current location and the address you put in when the widget was created.

Put in your work address. When you wake up in the morning, look at widget. If you see a red light, prepare for a long commute...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I will that today.

Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Just tried it and their is a fire a broken down car and a incident.

I put a address and when you click on the icon is takes you to Google maps.

I have to use this more often.

HTC EVO 3D BATTERY SAVERS GUIDE BY LEO72793

I have many tips on saving the battery from death during the day.

1. When charging the device, after you unplug it, wait about 2 minutes and plug it back in until the green light returns. This adds the discharged amount back to the battery from the trickle charge kernel.

2. Go into settings> wireless and networks> mobile networks> roaming> set to sprint only

3. Go to settings> wireless and networks > mobile networks> > disable mobile data always on.

4. Use the HTC settings Widgets in personalize to ad the 4g, 3g, Bluetooth, mobile network, profile, GPS, and airplane mode to toggle them on and off most of them off unless needed.

5. Go into settings> display> brightness> and set it to a comfortable viewing brightness level.

6. Disable live wallpapers.

7. Use darker wallpapers to conserve on the light emitted from the screen.

8. Go into settings> accounts and sync> and turn off auto sync.

9. In the email client aka mail NOT gmail if you use it instead of gmail, hit menu> settings> send and receive and set all to manual and peak to the same time such as 12am to 12am.

10. Use wifi at home instead of 3g. it saves battery and does not search for the signal consistanly.

WILL UPDATE WITH OTHER TIPS SENT TO ME. HOPE IT HELPS ALL!!!!

[HTC EVO 3D] leo72793:
More than likely. This is just my thread for noobs like me. Also I will be putting more into this thread such as my own tutorials and reviews for people who want to know the development of some roms and which ones do what they need. Is that ok with you??( pls say yes xD)
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Doesn't this setting turn off any accounts from syncing automatically if they are setup? (I.E. Gmail, Facebook, News, Stocks, etc., etc.)

Maybe say that as a disclaimer for this one, I'm sure that most people here actually use gmail and other apps that autosync.

Also, and I'm not trying to start the fire here, this isn't exactly Development Material. Your intentions are honorable and commendable, but misplaced. This should be in General or maybe Q&A with a title similar to <Battery Life Tips> or something of that nature.

This isn't exactly tips on anything, it's battery life tips. When that changes, you can change the title to something else.

But either way, thanks for the tips.

Cheers.

Turning off mobile data what will do?I guess you should explain, right?afaik unchecking this box, you will not lose your data, but when the phone its inactive it will be disabled right? And re activate data when its active again the phone, having this option checked your data will never be disabled....i'm wondering what happen with apps like whatsapp? When you don't even wake up your phone, you will not receive the Messages

Don't drop your evo 3d in water. It causes faster battery drain and some of the buttons may not work.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
This isn't true for LCD screens. LCDs use roughtly the same power to display black vs white. If you are talking about an AMOLED screen, it would be correct.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Issues with these tips (should disclaimer OP):

Most of these tips are for battery savings only and will disrupt regular data. For a user like me, that uses exchange email and have programs that need always on data, this would cause me issues.

Individual issues:

1. Not really sure this works.

2. If you are in a spotty area and you lose Sprint data service, this would stop your phone from roaming which would cause you to lose data service until you are back into Sprints service area. Roaming does drain your battery as your phone is constantly looking to get back on Sprint's network but for people like me, this is not an option

3. Disabling this setting disables push email.

4. Good tip :)

5. This setting only saves battery if you set it to a very low level. This could be frustrating to people that use there phone alot indoors and outdoors. As such, if you set it low indoors you will not be able to see the screen outdoors so you will have to change the setting to something higher. Better off letting the phone decide.

6. Good tip :) Live wallpapers are a cpu hog and can be battery hogs.

7. Does not matter. LCD uses a backlight that shines through a screen of colors. The brightness of the backlight is what causes battery drain. If you had your backlight (brightness) at 100% and you had a pure black background, it would use more power than if you had a pure white background and had your brightness set at 25%.

8. Once again, this would cause issues with people using their email client for emails such as myself that uses their phone for work. I want to get my emails when they are pushed. Push technology does not constantly use data, it keeps a TCP connection open with the servers and when an email comes in, it sends a small data packet to your phone to tell it to check for email as there is an email message waiting.

9. See 8

10. +10000 If you can use wifi, use it. It is a battery saver.

This is not a post bashing your list, I just wanted to make sure that people knew of the consequences of doing these tweaks.

[HTC EVO 3D] leo72793:
The tip #1 works great for me because sometimes I have picked it up AFTER charging it and it reads 95-97% and it charges immediately after charging replugged. hope someone tries to confirm it does help some.

[HTC EVO 3D] spectralblue:
3 does not disable push email.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Yes it does. This has been tested over and over again. Why don't you try it yourself. I have tested multiple times with my hero, evo, and now evo 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
Mine is off and my push mail works fine.

As a general comment tho, most of the orig tips are well known and sadly turn your "always connected smart phone" into a pretty dumb phone.

Evo3d's battery life when not actually "USING" it is pretty darn great, esp compared to the Evo or Evo Shift. Most folks are within 12 hours of a charger of some kind, and since it's a generic type charger, you can keep several at home, some at work, one in your car, and probably most of your friends have one around.

My opinion is that everyone needs to worry less about the battery and more about enjoying your smart phone the way it was meant to be used.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScottSNX:
For people who don't want to leave the data on because of email, if you setup your Gmail with forwarding and use your Sprint phone number text messaging email as the forwarding address, you get a text message when you get an email and then you can download the entire message manually at that time if you need to. It works instantaneously.

Your Sprint text email address is xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.sprintpcs.com. Replace the x's with your 10 digit phone number.

[HTC Sensation] Michelle My Belle:
I only see this behaviour if I install the standard mail widget on one of the screens (either Exchange or normal POP mail, not the one that looks like text messages). As soon as I land on the mail widget screen and wait for approx. 2 seconds it reboots to HTC splash screen then looks like it reboots Rosie, then goes back to the Quick launch screen...

Is there an issue with exchange mail or size?

Is anyone else seeing HTC splash screen/Rosie reboot?
