[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
With the new rom 2.3.4 flashed, the battery consume seems to be much linear than before, moreover maybe i've find the solution in the usb cable used in the car: a quick test by using the original usb cable with gps and data connection active has incremented the battery charge by 1% in a 10 km path.

Maybe the original cable has some special terminals configuration?

More extensive tests in next days.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mynewuser:
Any improvement of charging time required after flash with 2.3.4 rom?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
does not seem...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] blue_chip18:
I know this problem from my HTC Desire, it's was the same and the reason was that a orig. charching cable from HTC had a special pin which says the phone to charge like ac with full power and not only usb power! You can check this in the menü. There is an entry for charching which says "AC" or "USB" charching. If it shows "USB" it goes very slow! But i don't know that there is a special charching cable for car charching from samsung available too.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
Where is the menu entry that shows if is charging USB or AC?

Thanks
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ladidaaa:
Hi,

You will find it there:

Settings -> (telephone) Status -> Battery Status

There it says charging AC or USB

With AC it charges with full power, with USB it charges with 500mAh only -- which is not enough power for GPS and Screen on.

(At least it's like that with HTC devices)

I have a HTC Legend -- my solution to this problem was to short-circuit the Data pins in the Micro-USB-Port of the Car-Charger.

The Original HTC-AC->USB Adapter also has the Data-Pins Short circuited.

If you buy the HTC Car-charger you will geht a special USB-Cable that only works for Charging and not for Data transfer.

So HTC Devices recognize the Original charges by detecting the short-circuited Data pins.

I don't know if it's the same with Samsung devices!

I hope it helped you a bit!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mynewuser:
Any link on how to connect the circuited Data pins?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
Yes, probably a connection scheme would be useful.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] blue_chip18:
I bought today a car adapter with 1000 mah Power and micro usb port. It charges with "AC" shown in the system :-)

It was very cheap only 10,- EUR from Germany Company "Hama" a great hardware
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
Yesterday i've tried with another cheap charger, and AC charge is here, by using the same cable of 2100 mAh charger.

So my conclusion is that the trick is in the charger port, not in the cable.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
By searching on google, seems that the two central pins need to be short-circuited...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mom4751:
Hello everyone, I hope my English is understandable.

To avoid damaging the cable, I have modded the charger.

Generally the chargers are very simple to dismount: simply unscrew the ring that holds the spring and the fuse and remove a couple of screws.

Usually the data pins are soldered on the circuit board only for mechanical reasons (increase the endurance of the connector), but they are connected to nothing. Short-circuit the data pins with a solder, directly on the circuit board.

Now i see AC charge.

My old Toshiba TG01 required the same trick.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mandelbort:
Good! I will try myself.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] mynewuser:
Anyone try this modification? Can it work?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
I listen to the FM Radio for eight hours a day at work and since we are not allowed headphones I just use a cutoff wire.

This is fine but no matter how many times it happens I forget to pull the wire before answering or making a call and get confused when I can't hear the other person.

Is their a possible way to leave the wire connected so it works as a antenna but no sounds gets routed to it? Or can it be a feature request for some dev, since I am fairly sure it is not possible yet.

its nice but.still long way behind thumbs.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Used to have thumbs (full version) have not used it in a while now and am still using this.

What I have done was to adjust the size of the keys fractionally and switched off predictive text, it is not really needed with a keyboard this size and it increases perfermance and screen space by taking away the extra word line at the top of the keyboard +++ It has a thumbs feature at the press of a button...

[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
it's kind of funny. I tried this keyboard a few weeks ago and didn't really like it, but I installed it again a few minutes ago and now I do like it. Kinda funny how that happens. I've been using Swiftkey Tablet X, but this may end up being a replacement (at least when I'm not using my bluetooth keyboard) ;) Kind of upsets me now that I paid for Swiftkey...
[Acer Iconia A500] Sashtheflash:
I really don't know why you guys don't use Swype it's the best keyboard I've ever used! I use it on my sensation and on my iconia. Just go to beta.Swype.com and register for free. It makes no sense to Swype over the whole screen sooooo it has the feature to drop it's size to half that's great! try it you won't regret it
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I have tried them all on my tiny phone to this tablet. Thumbs is gorgeous works great fast and totally resizeable.not to mention the them selection color and font change formats.the programmable top roll of keys and the. Micro thumb tack key where I store email addresses and so on.

Sorry for stealing the spotlight in your thread. Thumbs keyboard rocks.

Guys, after updating to 2.3.4 my arc becomes very slow n laggy, I cant even use Widgetlocker :-(

Its problem with everyone or just me..

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
The only lag I see is when I open my contacts
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
I hardly have few basics apps installed which I had with previous versions and I am seeing lag while opening contacts. Contacts always had lag but I seems to have got worse. Feels like it's taking an extra second or so. I installed Go Contacts EX and it's struggling as well. Also, when I close browser and get back to Home Screen, the Launcher Pro Plus becomes almost blank and slowly loads widgets.

I think SE should stop wasting their developers time on their custom apps/widgets like Timescape, Weather widget, etc and try to make the phone experience smoother and lighter and add smart dialing. Now that they are doing most 4" or bigger screens they can trim down on the dialer button sizes and have couple of rows on top to use to show contacts from T9 smart dialing.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabe:
I find my Arc snappier than with 2.3.3. There is a difference in FW region though. I am now on rooted generic global, before it was unrooted generic Luxembourg version. Since my phone is rooted now I have removed some of the apps from /system/apps, but to be honest all the bloatware I have removed was not there in the LUX FW in the first place.

So I would say I am satisfied with the update.

I have pretty much the same apps installed.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlrpsteve:
I have just got my Xperia Arc and am about to give my Galaxy S to my wife. The one thing I can't find on the Arc is a task manager like I have on my Galaxy S. I've downloaded an app called Android Task Manager but it, and lots others I have seen in the android market, don't have a simple place to see all running apps and have one button to close them all down. I used to be able to go into this, see that Facebook and Internet were running, and with the one press of the button I could stop them.

The Task Manager I have downloaded seems to list not only apps I have opened but a bunch of stuff I'm not sure if I should if I should be closing down or not. Even if I was sure, I have to tick any I want to close and then press a close button. It all seems more more complicated than on my Galaxy S.

Any help on how I can close my running apps like I used to be able to do on Galaxy S would be very much appreciated.

thanks

My battery drains within 6 hrs of WiFi usage. No heavy downloading or updating, (keeping auto sync off).

With out WiFi, the phone lasts for hardly 10-12hrs. Mobile data seem to last longer than wifi.

I am charging for more than 10hrs to make sure battery is full and there be no calibration error.

The issue started happening after I installed Sunabh ROM. I use to wonder why there is a "switch of WiFi notification" in Sunabh ROM, every time there is no wifi connection established. Now I know why.

What could be done to solve the issue ?. I have tried other AOSP, stock based ROMs after that but couldn't solve the problem.

Please suggest methods changing kernel, radio or may be calibration methods.

P.S. I wonder, why there is still no standard guide to improve battery life in this forum . There must be certain a software set that would provide maximum battery life (assuming average hours of use).

P.S. I had your problem when i used JokerDROID 4.2, the exact same thing
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anmol7ify:
Try this out....it will help you on your present rom..

1. Go to recovery and wipe battery stats.

2. Open market and search and install battery calibrator.

3. Plug on charging and charge it to 100% and then open battery calibration app and click on battery calibration while keeping the charger plugged

4.after when the app says calibration done..remove your charger plug..and you are ready to go.. but after this step..let it discharge it to 0% and then charge it to 100% without break.. hope it works for you. :)

This improved my battery life to about 4-5 hour..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
The other thing you can do is try reflashing latest radio. Unless you don't have an a3335 phone. Also try entering *#*#4636#*#* then in phone information scroll down then in " set preffered network type to " GSM auto prl ". It will save some battery.

Hi,

some time ago my digitizer stopped working - there was visible a small dark spot, which resulted in erroneous signals to my Raphael. I replaced the LCD and digitizer with a new one, but still there is something wrong - Raphael does not respond to touch - tapping the screen doesn't cause effects. But if the screen dims, touching it restores the normal brightness. And what is strange that Raphael sometimes restore brightness immediately after getting dim, and this cycle repeats over and over again.

Hi there i am trying to flash my radio but it doesnt work. I am trying to flash Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 because i am running [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.0 XE and this radio seems te be the best way to work with this rom.

in hboot it says:

pyramid pvt ship s-off rl

hboot-1.17.008

radio-10.11.9007.15_M

eMMC-boot

if i try to flash using this guide:

Requirements:

- HTC Sync

- A Windows PC

1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled

2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open

3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"

4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"

6. Done. Enjoy!

it says when i am typing fastboot flash radio radio.img, writing 'radio'failed (remote not allowed). Does anyone know how to solve this? I googled myself crazy but there is not really much clear information for the htc sensation. And does anyone knows how to make the sensation eng-off?

If i copy the zip file to my sd card and install itit reads the file but it shows an error and wont istall the file either, so this way also not works for me. If anybody has a solution for my problem it would be very welcome, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] awesam:
shouldn't hboot have .000 at the back ?
[HTC Sensation] tpbklake:
To use the FASTBOOT FLASH RADIO command, you either need to have an eng-hboot or the Revolutionary HBoot in place. The standard HTC HBOOT does not support remote fastboot commands.

One reason why trying to flash the zip file from your SD card would fail in HBOOT is because the radio zip file has a version that is lower than the one you currently have installed.
