[Acer Iconia A500] MetaMs:
I have an Acer A500. Up until recently, I was able to use both Google Talk and Skype (audio only) with no problems. I learned over the weekend that the volume is now so low on both of them that they are unusable. I've tried everything I can think of to restore the volume so I can hear it (it is working...but practically inaudible).

I'm hoping someone with A500 smarts (I'm just your average user) can help me figure this out. The device is NOT rooted and I'm still on HC 3.1

Do you supposed it's an app that I installed that's affecting the volume? Is there any way to test, short of uninstalling all my apps?

I'm so sad to have both Skype and Gtalk unavailable on my tablet. I was using both regularly. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
[Acer Iconia A500] swissdiving:
low volume - skype

I have the same problem as Meta. Skype video calling works but the volume is so low I can't really hear the other person. The volume on the a500 is turned up full. If I plug in headphones I can hear the other person alright but they can't hear me anymore!

Anyone got any ideas to solve this conundrum?
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
I have exactly the opposite problem. In Skype, not only is the volume of the person I'm calling way too loud but the A500's volume control does absolutely nothing to lower it.

I just got a replacement A500 so it's brand new. I completely updated it to the latest OS and updates and installed the latest version of Skype. I logged in and tried the "test call" and the canned voice was so loud, the speakers were at the point of buzzing so I immediately started to turn the volume down with the button and got all the way to "mute" but the voice was still as loud as it could be.

I then called a friend and his voice was also way high and there's no way to lower it in Skype (apparently the Volume icon does not pop up a volume slider for some reason like it does on my phone or PC) and my A500's volume control was set to OFF!

Why the A500's volume control does not silence Skype is beyond me. Must be a bug.

3. then how can i make a kernel of Optimus 2X?

[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
1.Porting is possible when you have the resources. So why not?

2.Remove bloatwares I think.

3.Kernel making is available at 2X android development.
[LG Optimus 2x] Renirt:
thank for your reply Miku :)

whats the bloatwares?
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
They are the useless stuff that LG put, examples are Nate, F-Secure, widgets and the like.
[LG Optimus 2x] Renirt:
ah thanks :)
[Nexus S Accessories] nateysmith:
Anyone heard anything about these batteries? They are only about $24 dollars shipped from Amazon. Are they worth it? Here is the link to Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Naztech-11650-Extended-Battery-Samsung/dp/B005A2RLWS.

Thanks for all the help.

Edit: I decided to take the leap and purchase it. If anyone wants to know how it runs, let me know and I will put a review out there.
[Nexus S Accessories] voyager_s:
I was actually thinking of getting one of these.

Saw a simillar one on eBay last night. Is it any good. I mean in comparison with the stock one. How is the performance overall?
[Nexus S Accessories] athani:
Review please :)
[Nexus S Accessories] kap09:
I picked up a very simliar one (likely the same item?) from a US seller on eBay this week. The battery life has been GREAT on this thing so far!

The cover is not too bad at all. For reference, I compared it to my old Treo 650 I had laying around, and the Nexus is still SLIGHTLY thinner than the Treo. The extra bulge actually makes the phone MUCH easier to hold.

I debated the Seidio and really expected to regret not going there, but I'm totally satisfied with this one and the extra 40 bucks in my pocket.
[Nexus S Accessories] morganblackstone:
I bought two of them. A+ batteries...I use Pandora about 10 hours a day, every day and when I go to bed (17 hours unplugged) the phone still has about

40 % left
[Nexus S Accessories] marik1234:
Review please.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

I just bought it too off Amazon, it's going to get here tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it is and what I think of it...hopefully it's great, I can really use it. Stock battery just doesn't cut it, battery life is terrible. I just take a spare battery with me to school everyday, I also have a battery charger that plugs into a wall outlet so that helps.
[Nexus S Accessories] FlatEric0074:
want also an review !
[Nexus S Accessories] nateysmith:
Naztech 3000 mAh Review

I apologize for the delay in getting this review posted, but I wanted to make sure that I had fully tested this battery. I have attached my most recent screenshots for this battery. I have had this unplugged for a little over 24 hours and as you can see it still has 66% battery life. This is an awesome extended battery. I have used this for streaming music, tracking my runs, a couple hours of calls, and playing some Madden 12. On average, I am having to plug it in after about 36-40 hours with heavy usage. When I say heavy usage, that means 2 hours of GPS use, 2-3 hours of streaming, 3-4 hours of gaming , and background sync turned on. This is per day usage, so you can double those numbers. The most recent test is just after some moderate usage. Overnight from 12pm to 7am, it only dropped 2%. I am quite impressed by this battery and I, like many others, find that the bulk it adds is better for holding on to the phone. If you have any other questions regarding this battery, let me know. I can run it through any tests that you would like.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Accessories] danboard:
Can you post a few pictures of the battery?

Thanks
[Nexus S Accessories] method2madness:
What battery program is that?
[Nexus S Accessories] skinner12:
It seems good..
[Nexus S Accessories] method2madness:
You can flash a kernel at anytime and not loose anything. Just make sure you clear dalvik after the flash and you're all good. Just for good measure, I usually clear system cache along with dalvik, but you probably don't need to. Once you clear the dalvik, first boot will take a minute or so, so don't freak out. After that, it's back to the speedy boot GPA17 is known for. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] marik1234:
What is dalvik cache anyway?
[Nexus S Accessories] method2madness:
Dalvik is a Java virtual machine in which all the applications run. And the Dalvik cache is a component of this system that allows faster for loading.

Hi,

over the past years I used a HD2 with a Goa Rom and Cookies Home Tab.

I loved to have a calender with the next dates on my lockscreen - would it be possible to customize the Sense 3 locksccreen with some widgets as well?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EddieN:
I've searched the forums and found threads dealing with the dock and charging problems, but they all seem to pertain to B50 models on 3.1. I have a B60 dock on 3.2, everything stock. I have the dual battery widget installed and very rarely i remove my B50 pad from the dock. Lately however I've been noticing that the Dual Battery Widget displays my dock's charge level as "n/a". It shows a lightning symbol when plugging the charger in though.

Last night i had the same problem but kept undocking and redocking/unplugging and replugging the charger in different combinations to try and get the dock's battery charge to show, and eventually it showed up. It's happened today again and no matter what I do I can't get the charge to show again.

The charger itself is warm but not as warm as it usually is. I'm suspecting it's charging the pad through the dock rather than charging the dock since the dock "doesn't have" a charge it can read. Is this the notorious charging bug that people have been experiencing? I thought they fxed it in the newer revision docks (B60 and on)? I'd also like to add the fact that my dock has never gone below 3% as it shuts down at 3% charge.

Any ideas? Is there something wrong with the widget? The dock is fully functioning otherwise as I am typing this post with it.

Thanks

Edit: A screenshot from the Dual Battery Widget: http://db.tt/KN7sY8G

Edit 2: I managed to get the charge level to display by disconnecting the charger, undocking the pad, opening the Dual Battery Widget window and docking while having the window open. The dock is showing 63% charge so it isn't at 0% and i've only tried charging it for the past 15 mins since last night. I'm not sure why Dual Battery Widget is showing a battery drain of that much since clearly my dock has ~63% since last night and even the pad wasnt discharged past 97%.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harryw86:
Hi,

I have searched this topic and most are to do with Titanium Backup or backuping up NAND.

My question is as follows:

With an SD version of Android on HD2, can I simply drag and drop the entire contents of my microSD onto my hard drive as a backup in case of future microSD/Android corruption? Then drag it back onto the microSD and have a working copy of Android? Or will I have problems with file permissions etc?

Is the use of software such as Titanium Backup my only option if the above method couldn't possibly work?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,

Harry
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonas2295:
Usually it should work but you will have to backup the whole sd since some apps are creating folders on SD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yeah, that should be fine... but I would recommend also using Titanium backup in case you want to restore your apps later to a different build. Much better I would say because of this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] harryw86:
Thanks for both of your quality comments! I now feel confident that It'll work, and I'll also use Titanium concurrently for future build use as advised.

Cheers,

Harry

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Flash recovery again, root if you haven't done yet, boot into Android, delete or rename install-recovery.sh in system/etc (need root and a file explorer that can read/write, eg Super Manager), flash recovery again.

(all recovery flashing is done in fastboot)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcuk90:
it is because of the nexus s gingerbread auto reflash to stock recovery .

put brainmaster's flashable zip cwm in your sd , then you no need to keep flash the recovery d

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
few questions about using the unlocker, whilst using the qsd8250 _semc and qsd8250_setool2,

does the phone have to be in flash mode or just connected to pc via usb with usb debugging enabled??

also im gettin adb server is out of date killing...

*daemon started successfully*

getting that every second line or so, is that normal, also it completes the process up until the part where it reboots the phone, then on the pc it saying getting root rights and nothing happens from there???

any help greatly appreciated
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz@gmx.co.uk:
follow the unlock instructions fully, if it worked you should lose the "sony" test that happens just after you power on. If not, look for the BL tool in dev section, this will make life easier.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
And close flashtool when you do.

i was told the sony ericsson logo would only dissappear if i flashed a new ernel, so i did, now i have no signal, and ive tried to reset through seus done everything i can think of
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
Did you unlock your phone by chance? A in sim unlock to use it on another network? If you did, then you will lose radio signal if it wasn't done with SETOOL.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
i ran the test to mae sure i had semc certificate, which i did, so i proceeded with unlock
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
After unlocking, you need to flash DoomLord's special custom kernel or sony's very own via flashtool. Could be that or simply flash backs stock and retry unlocking. Possibly failed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] FcoT:
Anyone noticed?

This cell standby and phone idle are chewing 60% of my battery. That used to be my screen usage on my Thunderbolt. Screen is at 14% usage and I keep that screen lit! Seats have reversed! Looks like HTC just needs to put this screen with their radios and we will have a phone's battery life that would last two days! I am glad Motorola fixed the sound quality, but this battery consumption is ridiculous. This phone has 50% more battery than the TB, but they last about the same. I really wish someone would put this screen on HTCs radios and we would have a killer phone.

Aslo, I noticed that there are some apps, like Maps, that if I open once, it would stay on and consume massive battery! There was another app, that like maps used gps, that did the same. dps was disabled.

Weird swicharoos going on.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] the_kwa:
I've noticed this aswell.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dumaru:
If you are not in a 4G area, one thing to do would be to set your phone to CDMA Only instead of CDMA/LTE (Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobilenetworks>Network Mode). This will prevent it from trying to find a 4g Connection. I notice that the Cell standby will use a lot of battery just searching for better signal constantly. When I work during the week the Building I am in seems to block cell signal almost completely. During those days my Cell Standby uses a big chunk of my battery just trying to get better signal. On the weekends though at my apartment I don't use near as much because of better signal reception there.

**Also, this is a topic/question that should be in Droid Bionic General, not Development**
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Diversion:
Some people are seeing evidence that the battery manager is reporting wrong..

But time will tell after Moto pushes us some updates.

Wouldn't be surprised if it is reporting wrong. I am at a heavy 4G area, and i have owned every droid and the Thunderbolt, except the charge

[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
THANKS TO CALKULIN

Stock and aosp roms don't hold the dalvik-cache in /cache, only cm does (but only system apps).

Putting dalvik on /cache is better for me because it is yaffs2. /data is ext4.

The script in the linked zip will move your dalvik-cache to /cache, where i think it belongs anyway.

WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES:

This symlinks your /data/dalvik-cache to /cache. Basically writes the dalvik-cache to the cache partition, as opposed to having it be on the userdata partition(where your apps and the data for them are stored). So after this script, you will free up 40 + megabytes of data.

Now our Nexus S cache size is 417 mb so we have plenty of room for our dalvik to live there. Plus your dalvik is wiped upon reboot. The cache is so big primarily because Over-the-Air updates will download to it.

Works on Stock and AOSP roms that have /etc/init.d support.

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

(Flashing a different kernel other than secure Stock will do this. This option is set in the ramdisk)

Ramdisk + zImage = boot.img

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

*busybox is needed

**your wipe dalvik-cache function in recovery will stay intact as recovery already wipes the /cache/dalvik-cache directory by default.

INSTALL:

1. Extract and put in /etc/init.d with correct permissions--->750

2. Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik-cache, then reboot

http://db.tt/n2hwyBj
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Uncle Jimmy says Hello
[Nexus S Android Development] simms22:
the dalvik cache already partially exists in /cache/dalvik-cache/ and in /data/dalcik-cache/. if you move the whole thing there, you wont be able to use the wipe dalvik option in recovery, because it wont look for it there. you will have to wipe it manually every time. also, whats the point of moving it there? you wont gain anything from it.
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
Yaffs2 is my friend

aha! you edited your first post :p

[Nexus S Android Development] HareyCarey:
Okay, read some of that but I am not savvy enough to know how that helps us. Could you explain a little more about the application of yaffs2 to our phones?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Could you make a list describing what it does, it would be easier for the end users.
[Nexus S Android Development] snandlal:
It moves dalvik to a more reliable faster filesystem.

It keeps the dalvik clean by having it on /cache. Reboots are considered cleaning cache.

It puts a "cache"(dalvik) to an actual cache
[Nexus S Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
rebooting now, lets see how she runs :p

Edit: digging it so far. Thanks :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Esteway.619:
So this will work on nexus s4g right?
[Nexus S Android Development] brainmaster:
If I got it right, this scripts is suppose to move the dalvik cache from /data/dalvik-cache to cache/dalvik-cache.

I wanted to test this, so I followed the instructions from the OP. But the problem is, now I have it in /cache/dalvik-cache and still in the /data/dalvik-cache.

If I delete the files manually from the /data/dalvik-cache, they are recreated on reboot. It doesn't make sense for me to have the double dalvik - or am I missing something?
[Nexus S Android Development] bringonblink:
Exactly what i was thinking, any thoughts op?
[Nexus S Android Development] FormelLMS:
As I know, not the complete dalvik can moved. Thats the same as it on the Nexus One was.

I've been trying this now out. Hoping that the Nexus S doesn't become sluggish after using some apps.

For now it looks good, but we need more testings.
