My wife's phone has never been able to get an OTA update (2 that I know of) on her Infuse. Do we need to check with AT&T on this? (searched for a forum post and couldn't find one)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Camaro1LE:
I also have never been able to get OTA updates. That doesn't bother me cause i run custom roms which usually comes with the updates.

[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
have you checked for updates? v10a is the first release software

you should check for update , normaly you can update to v10d

i never tested hdmi out on android 2.2.2 ,but guess it must work
[LG Optimus 2x] evergzz19:
Thanks, I will do that with my local carrier in order to keep the warranty. The strange of this is at the beginnig this function was working perfectly but suddenly fail.

Muchas gracias from Mexico

[LG Thrill 4G] XGX5309:
Gingerbread brings platform support for the FFC. You have to wait for GB to use Skype/GTalk/Tango with the FFC... without hacking it, if possible.
[LG Thrill 4G] ueshada:

[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Qik comes pre-packed with the thrill and it definitely works cause I've used it.
[LG Thrill 4G] ueshada:
did you use it with front camera?

I don't know why I cant use it . May be it is I'm using optimus rom
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
yes i used it with the front camera. It may be rom related. I used it on the stock rom and havent used it since switching to the Thriller rom (qik no longer installed). Ill give it a try with the thriller rom this evening and let you know if it still works.
[LG Thrill 4G] malickie:

Here are the results after several days of use, it seems to be very good..

It also includes 1.2h of gps use with screen off (endomondo)...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
I'm consistantly getting at least 10-12 hours of heavy use with around 5 hours screen time with these babies, so yeah they're all good.

Shame the spider-foot back cases are better built. The Momax supplied ones feel really flimsy.

Also, Tids2k has had overheating problems with the Momax, maybe it's a bad batch as I've had nothing of the sort. Just someting to be aware of.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tlacoyo:
Would it be too much to ask for some pix of the actual case? Particularly I'm interested on this battery because of the stand included with the case, what has been the experience with the stand.

I'm currently using the Spiderfoot and the performance has been good so far.

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pepeto2001:
I'll try to make some pictures of the cover, but it is really HORRIBLE, I had the momax battery for the galaxy S, and the cover was fine (althought very bad quality).

This one seems better quality but very bad designed... too bulky!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] tlacoyo:
Thanks I would really appreciate it, is it really that bad? Is the stand not worth it?

It can't be as ugly as the spider foot haha, even though I'm using it I have to say the phone kind of losses its appeal, however, the extra juice is worth it.

[Atrix 4G General] paleozord:
My single biggest gripe with the Android OS is the way it closes backgrounded applications without the user's permission, unrelated to available memory but rather amount of time the app is left idle. I can be editing a Word document in QuickOffice or Docs-to-Go, then get an incoming call, answer it and talk for ten minutes, only to find my Office application has been closed and all my changes have been lost.

I am wondering if perhaps by some small miracle, the Atrix has been programmed differently from other Android devices NOT to do this, because of its intended function as a desktop substitute via the Webtop environment. No one ever wants their desktop/laptop computer shutting down applications because they left to grab a coffee for ten minutes, so I'm hoping maybe the Moto devs took this into account and somehow turned off the "auto close backgrounded apps if left idle for X minutes" functionality of Android.

It's only a slim hope I'm holding out regarding this, but maybe someone can answer definitively one way or the other.. anyone know for sure?
[Atrix 4G General] Hydrohs:
No, it's still the same operating system. The Webtop is completely separate from Android.
[Atrix 4G General] jeremyshaw:
Nope. I'm slightly annoyed every time adw ex is background killed just because I was reading my email, and it has to completely reload.

Not only that, but gingerbread took away the option to keep the launcher persistent :(
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
If your app doesn't restore the previous state on restart, then the app developer is to blame, not android. Just saying :)
[Atrix 4G General] Sogarth:
Sorry, but Motorola's responsible for any killing of webtop. X isn't designed to be magically killed the way that Android kills things.
[Atrix 4G General] surrealjam:
It is worth pointing out this is less of an issue on Atrix given the 1Gb of RAM... but yes, this is still Android and as such the memory management is ultimately the same.

I have had cases on the Atrix where I am playing Angry Birds, get distracted and browse the web, forget I was playing the game... then return to the game 1 hour later to find it's still running as I left it. This certainly would NOT have happened on my Galaxy S!
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
We were talking about android apps though
[Atrix 4G General] jeremyshaw:
Most apps do restore previous state.

They also take a while to do so.

On the other hand, my biggest gripe is resolved: cm7 has an built in option under he performance setting to keep the launcher persistant, so I don't really care anymore :p
[Atrix 4G General] sacah:
From my understanding of Android programming, it only closes Background tasks automatically, all apps are started as Background tasks by default, it's up to the app to tell Android that it's a Foreground app, and it can't be closed automatically.
[Atrix 4G General] scrchngwsl:
Hmm, I've used QuickOffice and left it alone for a while (got distracted, went on the internet, checked emails, turned off the screen, etc) and it was still all there when I came back. Does it happen to you frequently?

As a test I just made a new word document and typed some random stuff into it. I'll leave it alone for a day in the background and see if it's still there tomorrow...
[Atrix 4G General] paleozord:
Restoring to previous state works for some types of apps, but for others it's not a viable solution. For example streaming radio applications or chat programs like eBuddy, Fring, Skype etc. These need to be left running constantly in the background, not just restored to where they left off, because otherwise you're not available to be contacted through them while they're closed/offline. Some of those apps use the workaround of an ongoing notification to avoid being shut down, but that is really just a trick that developers shouldn't have to resort to.

I find that both QuickOffice and Documents-To-Go get shut down constantly when left idle in the background, even with nothing else running or using memory, and after only ten minutes or so of idle time. And I always lose all unsaved changes - the previous state is never restored.

What seems to happen is this: I can leave a document in the background for hours, and then come back to it okay, IF I don't do anything else in between. But if before returning to the open document, I launch ANY other app first, even a very small footprint one like a notepad, THAT is when the previously backgrounded apps like QuickOffice get closed by Android. It seems that Android's auto-close-after-idle activity is triggered by the next time the user launches something else. That's when the check is done and idle apps get shut down.

There are free app-switching utilities like AltTabApps and Smart Taskbar which allow you to easily see which windowed apps/tasks are still currently running. Using these I have tested and confirmed that I can actually leave quite a few things running idle in the background for a full day, and every time I keep checking, they are all still there and open, waiting to be switched back to. But then as soon as I open a new small app, and all those others have been sitting there idle and backgrounded for long enough, *POOF*, they all get closed instananeously the moment the new app is opened.

And like I said it's not related to memory, because I can see how much is free, and the app I end up opening is very small as well.

So if you're going to test, don't just leave it for a day and then try to come back to it. Before you go back to it, open something else that ISN'T already running (such as email or text messaging which are always quietly open already).. choose a brand new app to open and then try to go back to your Quickoffice document. On the three or four Android 2.2 devices on which I have tried this, I have never, ever been able to return to a document without losing all changes.

Sorry for the long message.. just important to point out the mechanism at work so as to avoid a false positive result, since there are cases when you can return to documents when you haven't opened anything else new in between.
[Atrix 4G General] scrchngwsl:
Ok, I see what you mean now. Tried it the way you said and left it for a good while and it did indeed lose the stuff I had typed. I can see how that would get frustrating...

Have you tried using a task manager and telling it to keep QuickOffice alive (i.e. for the system to never kill it)? Although this will probably eat your battery, so I guess only do this if you really need it. I doubt there's a way to turn the functionality off entirely, as it's a pretty core part of making multi-tasking work on low power consumption devices.
[Atrix 4G General] paleozord:
Even with my devices rooted, no task manager I have ever seen or tried has successfully been able to override the core Android system to keep-alive any app that I've specified. These utilities seem only to be able to affect their OWN task-closing habits or aggressiveness levels, but not to prevent the OS from doing its own thing separate from their internal settings.

Not to get side-tracked into an OS comparison, but I have an HTC Leo HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5, and it is able to keep a dozen applications open in the background indefinitely, without ever slowing down or draining the battery. I can leave Word Mobile, Coreplayer, Internet Explorer, Opera Mobile, Windows Messenger, and a large handful of others all open and still get a strong couple of days out of the battery. Surely if an older OS like WinMo (and even WebOS and Symbian) can do this, Android should be capable of it too. For this very reason unfortunately, I have had to stick to Android 2.1 or WM devices as I need my apps to stay open until I decide to close them. I am always hoping though that a new 2.3 or 2.4 device will come along that allows disabling of this functionality by the user.
[Atrix 4G General] jeremyshaw:
The keep persitant value was depreciated from android alltogether in 2.3. However, if cm7 can be set to keep alive the launcher and the messenger app, then it stands to say there is still a way around this.

My shift's gps is not working, nor has it since i got it about a month ago. I've tried everything from downloading gps toolbox, to trying to to update the gpsone tab in qpst. Now, when i go to enter in the server ip address in gps, and the other settings, i write them to the phone, try turning on gps toolbox, standing in one place for 5 or so mins, nothing, not one damn satelite. I go back into qpst, and all my settings in gpsone tab are gone. Wtf? Anyone having this same problem?

Haha no problem and good luck! Make sure you keep us updated! GPS has frustrated the heck out of me for the past month. That's the best I can come up with at this point. Need to have wireless assistance on and the first time you boot the phone on any rom you should be outside and get a good lock with a clear view of the sky. After that it's good to go.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbernardo13:
So, should I flash my rom again? and avoid setting up google account, then run the apps?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
No just go to GPS settings, turn on use wireless networks, use faster fix, then open maps and try and get your location while outside and with a clear view of the sky. The GPS icon will stop flashing in the status bar when it has a lock. It will stay in the status bar as a solid icon, meaning that it is locked.

Then run GPS status and see how many satellites you get. You should get at least 4-5+ (up to 9) when GPS is working properly.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbernardo13:
any idea how long it takes to get a lock? i've literally waited 5 to 10 minutes before

Hi all,

Running stock Android 2.2.2 on a Galaxy Pro, and I can't seem to locate "Battery Level" percentage.

All posts point that it should be under Settings > About Phone > Status, but all I can see there is Battery Status, which is either Charging or Discharging.

Any help to locate "Battery Level" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] chongyixiong:
Click on one of the text there.. either battery status or that progress bar (that shows how much is left).

[General Questions and Answers] GodzillaBox:
You're saying that: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Battery use - _ doesn't allow you to see details regarding battery status/usage?
[General Questions and Answers] amdroyd:
It does give me a break-down of battery usage. But it does not give me a "battery level" in percentage, which is what I can't seem to find anywhere on my phone.

I understand a widget would do the job, but I find it intriguing not being able to find this piece of information, especially that most people seem to have it.
[General Questions and Answers] chongyixiong:
I get what you mean, but the Battery Level is segmented into 10 bars, and I can roughly guess that my current battery level is at 40% (4 green bars).

BattStatt Pro shows me that I'm at 42% actually. So it's not far off, you'd be able to estimate to the nearest +/- 5% or 2.5% if your 'eyeball' skills are not bad.

Edit: On my HTC Legend, I can enter *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer menu and then check my Battery Info from there as well.

When you click about phone,is ther not an option that just sez status then gives percentage,if not I mayby thinking of a later android,if u long press on home screen,choose widgets,see if theres a battery 1 to add,there is on my android or look in the market theres plenty apps or widgets for free:)

Hi

Do you mean the file transfer failed or the installation? How are you trying to move them over? Could be a couple of things:

1. I have found that the stock web browser has a bug in it where sometimes downloading a .zip file downloads as a useless .bin file and hence wont install. Try downloading from a PC and then manually moving the .apk file to your sd card for installation.

2. You have not allowed the installation of applications outside of the Market. Go to Menu> Settings> Applications and make sure 'Unknown sources' is ticked.

3. Make sure you extract the .apk from the zip file before putting it on your sd card, or use a file explorer app that can install apps from within a zip. I think Androzip can do this.
