thaey sure do take a lot of space. when I do an nandroid backup it always saves the rom with the date. can i rename it so I can keep them all straight? THis is a very NOOB question
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] janheem22:
I couldn't find any similar problem on the forums, so here goes:

I am using:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S

Android version: 2.2.1

I purchased a bluetooth headset today, which is working perfectly until my phone goes to black screen (screensaver mode), at that time I just hear a very loud static noise, and so does the other person on the phone.

When I turn my screen back on, by activating the device (clicking the home button for example) the sound immediately turns back to normal.

To clarify, the problem is not with pairing or visibility, all that works just fine!

I tried to modify the screensaver setting, and set it to 10 minutes. When I then called my brother I pressed the home button to go to home screen, and put it in my pocket. The phonecall was fine for exactly 10 minutes, when the screen turned to black and the sound went back to static.

I already tried to use bluetooth fix app, it didn't help.

Any help would be more than welcome!

Just purchased voodoo control plus and I am running humble 3.0 EP1. The hardware EQ bass boost settings do not appear to be making any difference when I am adjusting them. I have plugged my charge into my car stereo which has a sub-woofer and was hoping to improve the bass by using voodoo control plus. Have done some searching through XDA but not finding any similar topics. Is this because the charge is not officially supported by voodoo? Any direction and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Bass boost is one of the things not working currently on Gingerbread. It may not until the source is released.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cnt5189:
Ugh I just bought the Moto Bionic yesterday and I am already unhappy with it compared to my Samsung Charge. The overall speed of the phone is great( doing basic task not requiring the internet, but when I start searching from the Android Market or trying to search the internet, it takes forever to load anything. Second, the reception is awful, I would get full bars and 4gLTE all the time with the Samsung Charge at the house, but now using the Moto Bionic it gets maybe 1 bar and switches between 3g and 4g within the Houston area. I also have been having issues of just loading the android market, sometimes it literally wont load or Ill try and download an app and it will get stuck on downloading and not actually install the app. The having a locked bootloader does not help Moto's cause. I hate the bloatware that comes on phones and I should have the option if I want that crap or not. My Samsung Charge shows similar results in speed when Rooted and running PBJT/CWM7/ and Gummy Charged. I am returning the phone today also because the verizon sales rep lied to my mom and said she was not permitted to the trade in old phone for smart phone 100$ gift card. I am going back to the Charge today, Good luck on the bootloader! if y'all do decrypt it Ill be glad to jump back to this phone just for the processing power and to see what the Devs can do with so much power. :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
call verizon customer service,and explain to them whats going on and they will help you more then the store will.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cappiez:
Bleh... 1 day? Really? How can you really judge a phone completely after one day?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cnt5189:
I took your advice and called support. They said I just need to go to the store and put everything back to how it was, and it would cost me 35$ restocking fee, but maybe theyd be lenient to me because the sales person lied....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cnt5189:
well my main issue was the sales rep said I was not eligible for the 100$ gift card bc he wanted the sale instead of me ordering it off their website, I guess I should have checked the website for my mom but she came home and said she wanted a new phone. So I am also returning it to get that 100$ gift card for my mom. and plus read what I wrote about it, Ive been playing with the phone all day. I also don't like the fact that it has a locked bootloader. Hopefully they will drop the encryption on the bootloader so the devs can have fun. The Samsung Charge is a badass phone too!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crupp:
Bars are not a good indicator. Also the Bionic has 4 bars and not 5 like the Charge so you are not comparing Apples to Apples. I just cam from the Charge and noticed the same thing However speeds are the same and actually my uploads are consistently faster. I was on the fence big time. While I was at the store 4 people came in with Charges that were burning through SIM cards and Verizon doesn't know why. The Charge is a good phone I think you'll be happy either way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unremarked:
The $100 trade in is valid in store as well online. However to qualify you must be upgrading from a feature phone to a smart phone, not smart phone to smart phone. Fine print is your best friend! Also if you are using an upgrade from another line(alternate upgrade), you will most likely not qualify.

No one lied to you, but your Rep did fail to explain the program properly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] squeeze:
When the HP Touchpad launched, I picked one up on launch day, took it home charged it and returned it after 5 hours. Not a phone, but...

I didn't want to "setup my accounts" on the floor model...I had to take it home.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tornlogic:
Ironically I not only feel the Bionic has better reception I can prove it. Both my wife, and a buddy at work have Charges and there's a night and day difference with the quality of radios.

Not saying the Charge is not a great phone, its just not as good when it comes to connectivity.

I feel there might be something wrong with your Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
I tend to agree with this post. The Bionic radio is leaps ahead of both the Samsung and HTC 4g LTE devices. I don't know anyone with an LG Revolution so I can't comment on that one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brickinphoneslol:
I actually find HTC (Thunderbolt) to have the better radio as opposed to the Droid Bionic. LG Revolution was the best to me hands down. Best reception everywhere. Consistent LTE everywhere I went.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
Bars are not any kind of indicator of signal strength. Use the DB to see that and in my studies it is actually the best of the LTE crop thus far. (No shock since Motorola always does this) Bootloader I understand and the rest of the issues aren't known Bionic issues from what I have read and it sounds like problems with your google account or something.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Don't use the bars as judgement they are wrong use actual signal strength. After seeing all the LTE phones in action Bionic has the lowest DB by leaps and bounds..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rduckwor:
DO a factory data reset before you judge the handset. There is some bad juju in your phone and this will purge it.

RMD
[Motorola Droid Bionic] devikta:
I haven't been all that happy with the Bionic to date either, but it's not due to reception. I have issues with the screen (my first Pentile experience, and it sucks), battery (had to get the extended battery, now my phone's a fat a**), camera quality and shutter speed is awful and lastly no CM7 support.

I went from Sprint/EVO to the Bionic, and while I was frustrated with the Sprint service and coverage, I was happy with the EVO. I had it setup perfectly, it ran great and I miss the camera.

The Bionic on LTE is 3 to 5 times faster than the top speeds I was able to accomplish on Sprint's network, but I'm missing the better camera and form factor of the EVO.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KidJoe:
Hopefully you are judging via Settings -> About phone -> Network -> Signal Strength, rather than via BARS and coverage indicator on the home screen.

Of all the feature phones and smart phones I have, Moto has been consistently been the best at pulling signal (comparing RSSI values, not "bars"), Samsung the worst, and LG somewhere lower than middle (there have been one or two exceptions to this).

If the Thunderbolt (which I have) gives better reception than the Bionic (should be here today or tomorrow), I will be shocked. Especially because my TB isn't as good pulling 3G/EVDO signals as even my HTC Incredible. And my Droid X and original Droid pulls better signal than the Incredible.

NOTE: RSSI values are measured in -dBm so the more negative, the worse the signal. And it is logarithmic, not linear, so the difference between -93 dBm and -94 dBm is greater than the difference between -70 dBm and -71 dBm.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
The stock camera app blows, common knowledge.

Camera itself is fine.

The battery lasts a good 15-18 hours light use. And should do 10-12 heavy use.

While the screen isn't the best color wise, it sure has good power draw.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Sorry for the noob question, but what's a better alternative camera app for the Bionic?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 7olycon7:
Agreed, i got my bionic the day it came out and i too was a little apprehensive at the laggyness for certain apps but now having it for a few weeks i have used the force and tweaked this beast into something extraordinary and am very happy indeed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cnt5189:
Im rocking -76dBm 0 asu. I guess it is a whole lot better than judging bars, I see what you mean. Im kind of a phone noob but coming to great understanding with the device, Im keeping the Bionic hoping for the unlocked bootloader! cross your fingers!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jamezr:
I have both the Thunderbolt and Bionic. Side by side the Bionic gets better connection and download speeds. I have tested them again and again with same results....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jamezr:
You should have bought the Thunderbolt....almost same phone as the EVO....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vereynn:
I've seen several reports that some Bionics have flaky radios. I know mine has done the "4G->3G->NoG->4G" cycle on a couple of occasions in locations where my OG Droid never had anything other than stellar 3G reception.

I"m fairly happy with my Bionic at this time. I made sure to look at a couple to see how the Pentile display would affect me, and so far it's fine. It's really very much a personal issue, some people hate it, some people love it. The nighttime display mode for Google Navigation looks extra sharp to me compared to my old Droid, even though the OG Droid had one of the best smartphone displays back in the day. It's definitely a display that looks its best at a normal viewing distance; get close and it gets real ugly really fast, but it was engineered for typical distances.

OTOH yeah the camera (w/stock app) is ludicrously bad. OTOOH I have a point-n-shoot AND a DSLR I keep handy, so I'm not too worried about the phone's camera.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] snowblind64:
Even with a locked bootloader you can still:

1. Root

2. Use a bootstrapper to load a custom recovery (lets you do backups, load ROMS, etc.)

3. Use custom ROM's (stock kernel) or with 2nd-Init custom ROM's w/custom kernel

4. Overclock using kernel modules
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigeddthemonk:
Well I started my smartphone campaign with the Droid X right when it came out. I've never had an "unlocked bootloader" but according to what I've seen from my freinds Samsung, I can do all the same stuff on my good old DX, cm7, overclock, .ext. The bionic is still new so 2nd int isn't out but when it is it'll keep up with the best of em, actually, it'll probly be leading the rest of em.
[Sony Tablet S] Montague:
I am a bit disappointed with the drain of the battery compared to all other tablets available out there. Mine drain like 1% in every 4.5 mins when you use it for browsing websites, which last only 7.X hours.

7 hrs for me is acceptable but i am just wondering hows everyone else doing on their battery. Do you like it so far
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
My battery was draining pretty quick for the first two or three days but it's settled now and seems to be getting better.
[Sony Tablet S] crh8:
Same with me. It started off draining quickly, but I've noticed that it's getting better. The battery life may not be the best out there but it's reasonable enough.
[Sony Tablet S] elsuirad:
I can maximize my A500 Tablet more than 10hrs. only when I'm using Battery Booster v3.3 but if not, until 9.5 or exactly 10hrs only.
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
Yeah same battery was burning quick initially now its pretty even and like an idiot I left gps ticked on indoors which certainly didnt help :)
[Sony Tablet S] adubrovs:
Yeah, I can confirm that the battery life has gotten a lot better after a week of using it.
[Sony Tablet S] sservati:
I returned mine because of an issue that the gray cover part of the back was coming out very easy, I got a new one and this one drains battery very very slowly even at the first charge!
[Sony Tablet S] todders:
I must admit iam not that impressed with battery life so far,it drains about 20% overnight in airplane mode.

I charged mine to full last night used it for web browsing and music was down to 68% after two hours.

This morning was at 48% left on airplane mode this morning until 1pm was at 17% when I got home.
[Sony Tablet S] JaredP:
A lot of the pre-launch reviews warned about battery issues, so I thought it would be a problem. I have been pleasantly surprised. I charge it once a day in the cradle. I use the tablet most heavily at night, and usually have a half battery in the morning. The first day I had it I went several hours on the 20% it had out of the box. Not bad at all.
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
I was using mine for about 3 hours last night and coming from a full charge I still had 80% battery left so it's definitely improved a lot
[Sony Tablet S] 3vilhomer:
my battery goes down about 10% every hour... while watching video using bluetooth MW600 with wifi conneected to my phone...

n my x10 battery goes down about 30% per hour, sad...
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
Got no problem with battery life got a problem with recharge time tho it is real slow.
[Sony Tablet S] fl105:
How is the standby time of your Tablet S? I have 80% battery left on last Friday, but this morning (Monday, that means has been two days more), I can't boot my device, no juice left in my tablet S. I did not use it on Saturday and Sunday. This is very weird.

According to the Sony website, the stand by time is 400 hours, of course I don't believe these numbers. But let's say 200 hours standby time is worth to trust. My tablet S doesn't even last for 48 hours. Has anyone encountered the problem I had? :(
[Sony Tablet S] Sploogie:
so far im not convinced by the battery. I purchased mine on Friday and hoping what everybody else says is true - that it gets better after a few days, but I suspect this is due to the "honeymoon" period being over and people stop playing with it as much.

I put mine down last night at 95% at around 10pm. I checked again this morning at 8am and it was down to 65%. To me that doesn't quite sound right. I've turned off all syncing and location services now and Wifi is set to go off when the screen turns off so I will see how long it lasts after a full charge tonight.
[Sony Tablet S] mmisep:
I am starting to feel really disappointed by the battery life... =(
[Sony Tablet S] fotoingo:
Same here !

The S1 drains the battery really fast over night.

It seems that the cpu is always active and dont use something like a "sleep mode" ...

Anyone has suggestions what to try without root ?
[Sony Tablet S] Maedhros:
I have returned my tablet. However battery life was worse then the Jetstream and worse then the Ipad2
[Sony Tablet S] minalcri:
It might not be a Sony problem. Check your apps. Android doesnt have that good of control over apps like Apple has so they are not all optimized.

You will be surprised how many of them will eat away at your battery even in stand by.

Here is how i test it. I go into Settings>Applications and go and force close every single app that im not using. Then i put the tablet in stand by and check it after a few hours. I say a few hours because after one hour the battery doesnt even move in stand by.
[Sony Tablet S] js042507:
I get what you're saying. Though, there is definitely something wrong with this (or my) tablet's battery life. I have closed apps, and even turned off all the radios overnight; but I went from 74% to 34% in just 10 hours overnight in standby! This is unusual. I charged my tab yesterday morning, and used it very moderately. I used to have a xoom and a tf, but they would probably still have roughly 75% - 85% left?!! Maybe this is a hardware issue on my tablet, specifically? I can't return it. I am about to call Sony about this. Does anyone else have dramatic battery drains like I have been experiencing?

EDIT: Food for thought - I once had my xoom last over 21 days in one charge alone! This was obviously with VERY little use, but the Sony tab wouldn't even last 5 days in that scenario?!

[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
The specs for S tab along with the battery type in it should last but for some reason it is inconsident. Ive had days where Ive turned it off at 90% and turned it back on later in the day at 89% and somedays its gotten as low as 60%...for no apparent reason. So something is odd.
[Sony Tablet S] jurenad:
Only solution. Turn off after use. Sony must make a solution urgently. Its the very bad battery in all tabs i know and use.
[Sony Tablet S] js042507:
Surely something IS off. As you stated, about a 1% loss after a few hours is normal. It was like that for my xoom and transformer. However, this little piece of tablet is not cooperating. Lol. We need to get to the bottom of this!

Sent from the most "Epic" phone in the world! ...Using XDA Premium app :-)
[Sony Tablet S] reeser:
Probably be a hell of alot easier if it did it all the time heh. As it is now its a bit of a crap shoot. Had my tablet off now since last night 4am, it was at 84% turned it on and it was 80%. So this was a "good" battery run.
[Sony Tablet S] js042507:
That is good! Did you actually turn it off, or was just the screen off?

[Sony Tablet S] alizawi:
Mine can usually go for around 2 days and 15 hours without charge.... i do have wifi policy to never turn off, although we all know that's not stable...if it was, I would probably get just under 2 days ...I have quite a few widgets doing their thing.
[Sony Tablet S] alizawi:
Ok, I think i spoke to soon...since my previous post, my wifi policy has actually been behaving as required.... wifi is always on...been the case exactly since my last post. Tablet was 100% when I went to bed.. woke up this morning, it was 81%. Maybe I need to rethink my widget settings.

I decided to try a live walpaper to see the drain of battery.. lets see how long he stands..
[Sony Tablet S] Tergazzi:
I am slightly dissappointed at how much drain is still on the battery when in standby w/screen off, but while watching movies or tv shows I am happy, I can get about 4 hours. (havent timed it exactly)
[Sony Tablet S] XotusBlack:
after few days and 4 charging cycles later iam realy suprised

the battery is better than i thought..

keep in mind that every Li-on battery reaches his full capacity at least after 4-5 charging cycles

100 > 0 % normal use with wifi 13hrs 36mins

light using goes up to 2-3 days

AC charging 0 > 100 % 4hrs 4mins

Sprint is a joke. Empty promises, bulls**t data signal, premium data charges and hidden charges. There is still NO 4G in Phoenix Arizona, the nations 6th largest city.

Sprint and their reps have been saying 4G was to roll out in August 2010. It's nearly 14 months later and still the same garbage. They just don't get it. I'm close to telling them to piss off and switching back to Verizon.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I haven't had any problems with Sprint at all. I have 5-8Mbps 4G, I have never had a dropped call, the Repair Center replaced my screen with no hassles when it went bad, they waived the early termination fee on my 3G USB internet card so I could get the ET4G at new 2 year price, they waived the activation fee, and they gave me the option to trade my Epic for a Nexus if I want to...no complaints here.

I just got off the phone with a sprint rep, because I was having trouble activating new phone. I asked about the capping, and he said that it's only for data cards. He hasn't heard anything of them limiting phones and there was no plans too. But this is coming from a sprint rep, so take it for what it's worth.
