It will reduce your batteries life, leaving it on the charger. Will it does stop charging it then drains to 99% then tops it up, which over time uses up the recharge cycles and will reduce the time until it can't hold a charge.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
Lithium ion battery doesn't have recharge cycle.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coedy:
Exactly. This was true until Litium Ion batteries came the norm in handsets.

Nowadays its just to be seen as being 'green'
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
That is strange since this site devoted to teaching about batteries makes it seem like they do. But also reading it says that being at a constant full charge is more damaging then cycling the battery.

That is in the second paragraph under the "Depth of discharge" chart on this site

With the frequency cellphone batteries are charge/discharged, they crap out after two years anyway, and unlike some other fruity product it takes us 10 seconds to plop in a new one, so don't worry about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
Even if it damaged your battery the effect wouldn't come noticeable before a long time I think. And in case the battery does get damaged, you can always replace it, that's one of the nice things about this phone, if you compare it for example to an iphone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poch_1421:
exactly why i didn't buy an iphone :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
The only things really damaging your battery are:

- excessive heat

- heavy use while charging

- turning on the phone over and over after it turned itself off on it's own due to low battery

there are more, for sure, but just to name a few.

I always charge my phones over night and my HD2's battery is as good as ever after 2 years. My SGS2's battery is still the same, and I still thing that when the battery is full there are no discharge/recharge cycles but something like a suspend mode in the charger.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] psp888:
When I use the new market, apps are missing from the installed list.

Eg, Facebook is not listed even though i have it installed, when I search for it, it says installed.

Also it thinks Maps isn't installed.... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sp1tfire:
Delete data and cache and all apps installed from the market will appear in the list. I also do the same when my apps list loads forever and hangs, after that it's faster for some time. This new market is kinda poorly optimized, hope they release a new version to be as fast as the old skool market.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gotetrunks:
In my opinion the android market app sucks in any of his versions and with any rom, stock or mod.

It's often slow, sometimes i see an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button. When perform a search 80% times it find only porno-nudegirls-related things, and also not so related...

I think google really should have to put a lot more attention and start developing an app that is fast and functional and not the crap we have now... And maybe have more respect for all the serious developers here who post their applications in the market and see theirs accounts gone for no reason as appened to Leo...

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Archer:
Seems to work perfectly for the majority of people. I suggest you may have issues with your device if you find it slow. Also, if you keep finding "porno-nudegirls-related things" then I suggest you stop searching for them ;)

In summary, it works perfectly for me. My only beef would be that it just doesn't have a download button, rather than telling you an app is not compatible.

Also, the Honeycomb Market is sooooo much better, so ICS will clearly have a better version as well.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] varunkumars:
Wow amazing. It's blazing fast. Worth a shot.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] chiirz:
Ty, but market dr. didnt help because he doesnt recognise the links as missing, also most apps in the market are telling me that my phone is not compatible - my guess is that the market also thinks that my installed apps are not compatible and therefor not shown..

Can anyone help? I have no clue what to do.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gotetrunks:
Maybe we have different idea of what is fast :P
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mittaa:
Yes ... it's often slow.

Yes ... often there is an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button :o

And nearly every time there actually is an update button present ... update will hang due to some kind of connection error (never start downloading app) :mad:

Removing new Market update or (fast) rebooting phone solves this problem until new Market update re-install itself again.

My phone NOT faulty ... new Market or maybe something behind the walls of Goggle is buggy ...

Anybody found a prober solution working on not rooted phone :confused:

Create an MP3 less than 1MB, 40 secs or less and set the Genre to Ringtone (you can edit the genre in Zune if you need to).

In mango, they will appear in a custom group above the stock ones, when selecting either the general ringtone, or one specific for a contact.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Is there any way to unzip a ROM, and add the APKs for the apps that I want? Like for instance, a ROM may not come with Google voice, so I wanna add that in and make it like a system app. Is this possible, or do I have to just download it, along with the rest of the apps I want?

Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Weselers:
I'm not quite sure but there's a program that is supposed to zip the rom into a .zip and do the opposite so I don't see why you cannot unzip a rom, add the apk's u want and then rezip and flash. I would be careful though these developers put alot of work into these roms so who knows you could accidentaly remove something crucial to the system, look into the Android software developement area, there's alot of information on how to make roms and such. I tried learning what I needed to to make a rom but got lost about 3 hours into reading lol. In the main forum area under android developement/hacking should be a noob corner somewhere
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
What's the point of doing what you're asking anyway? Just to have all your apps installed as you install the rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
yeah, so then I don't have to go find them. Lol more of a vanity thing. I'm not worried about taking stuff out, just adding to.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Beamer9408:
You don't have to unzip the ROM if you have winrar or 7zip right click on the ROM open as archive find system/app put the apk files in that folder close the ROM zip out and then do as you normally would to flash the ROM it will instal what you add

You can adb pull the .apk files you want them add to the zip it isn't suggested to unzip sometimes it corrupts the zip file
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
That's a good suggestion. Can't you also just do a batch backup with titanium and then do a batch restore once you flash your new rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Yeah, but then there's the long process of letting the apps install and all that... its just a pain. I mean, I don't mind doing it, I was just asking if it'd be easier to do that

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
I used to do this in the past to remove and install Apks before flashing a new rom. Kind of personalize it for what I wanted and what I use. I haven't been doing this lately though. I just do a batch restore with Titanium backup now. It's pretty quick, and has worked well.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rveens:
When 2.3.4 will be here, i think i need to restore all applications that are preinstalled, yes?

The last time went from 2.3.3 to 2.3.3 build 4 i had to flash back to uk generic 2.3.2, gingerbreak and go all the way up again. Also, i had to remove my user data because the screen wasnt responsive because of diffrend settings.

This makes me a very sad panda.

Can anyone tell me if i will be able enable the OTA process by restoring system apps?

Or might it be a better idea to unlock the bootlocker? But then again, is this really worth it? Isnt this a lot of stuff i have to go through? (will i lose my user data? what are the advantages of unlocking the bootlocker and the disadvantages?)

Thanks in advance, as you can see i have quite a lot of questions.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
Ya unfortunately you'll have to restore the system apps if you want to OTA update as it checks. As for unlocking your bootloader, if you can do it I would recommend it. Reason being is that once you do you'll never have to worry about losing all your data again (not to mention the ability to overclock and run CM7) as you will always be able to be easily rooted making backing things up/restoring a cinch (either through a nandroid backup or titanium). That being said the SE way of unlocking your bootloader WILL wipe your userdata, as for the paid solutions Im not so sure. And as a disadvantage to the unlocked bootloader SE says it MAY void your warrenty, also you will loose TrackID as it deletes your DRM certs, however I think the paid solution avoids this.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper_Max:
What is TrackID and what are the DRM certs for? I have been wondering this, since the Sony Ericsson unlock page says it will damage the DRM keys.

( http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/ )

I'm mainly concerned if all the Playstation functionality will still be accessible (don't want to take the Playstation out of "Playstation Phone"... then it'd just be "Phone" >_>)

From what I have read, users like Alejandrissimo and Jinx13 provide a service by which they use the SETool on your computer (remotely connected to their dongle, which functions as a smart card to enable the SETool software), to unlock your phone without damaging the DRM keys. Which again, really has me wondering what the DRM keys are for...

So if anyone can provide details on the DRM keys and what they are for and what they will break if damaged, etc., that would be very helpful!

I don't currently have an Xperia Play, but am now strongly considering getting one, since I'm on AT&T and there's a nice blue AT&T version out now... So if anyone can verify the success of the SE unlock method on the AT&T version, that would be good to know too... I have read that the remote unlock method via Alejandrissimo has worked for AT&T users.

~Troop
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
The DRM keys have nothing to do with playstation. They manage the digial rights of sony media, so you will loose Track ID. You will loose the ability to "facebook like" media you are playing in the stock music player. and you will loose the ability to purchase music and videos from the sony qriocity store. Afaik thats about it.

Hello, I wondered why my phone is overheating so much... im using v6stock by Wolfbreak. Locked bootloader, stock kernel, without overclock or undervolt.

Do i have to flash something else or make some settings on some app, or its just from the phone?

Its overheating for example, last night, i was testing some TD game, in 8-9 minutes, the phone restarted, and again, and again, till i pulled out the battery for a 5-10 minutes. Switched back on, everything is fine, quick setup of the time and date. And im ready to play another 10 minutes :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoiltz:
If u can, then re install, the ROM.

Then, fully charge the phone to 100%.

Go to xrecovery, and do a "wipe battery stats"

Now, let the phone discharge till it shuts down, by itself.

If it still, causing problem, then run "Repair Service" via SEUS.

Its essentially just like Google Voice but uses your own AT&T number with voicemail, texting, mms, and missed call notifications.

Just loaded it... be weary, looks like it take some time to sync and begin... its not as quick as GV either

do you see any obvious advantages? other than being able to use your own number

EDIT: installed it, nice app. i like it

Backup and review of all messages on the cloud. Slightly safer than Google.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] punisher2008:
tried it right now and here is my thoughts on it

Pros: You are able to text from your computer using YOUR number and not the number that google has given you. Also if you dont have a signel on your phone you are still able to text from your computer, this also goes if you dont have your phone with you but you are still at a computer. Its an all in one system were you can get your text and voicemail in one place

cons: For some reason i cant get the website to load my messages but that could be just me, at this moment you cant disable notifications, not that much customization

i feel that it can be a great app given more time to improve on it but for right now i installed it tried it and uninstalled it because google voice is still better
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cotr:
Took a couple hours but it started working super smoothly. I don't like how it handles missed calls so now I use the messaging app for texts and what not and Google voice for voicemail.

Sometimes tthe messages don't sync but a force kill and app restart fixes it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ryboto:
does this require a texting plan? currently I block all texts to and from my phone and just use GV, does this use data only for texts? I'm guessing AT&T wouldn't be that stupid...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cotr:
it requires data and text but the data doesnt count unless you have a 4g plan (for now). just texts at some point. says so in the fine print.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] drwx:
this app is weird. i was kind of hoping for an app to sit in my sys tray so that i could see my texts from there and reply, like any other instant messaging app. This app requires you to log in to a clunky website to send and receive texts. the notifier app only tells you that you have messages.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AnarchoXen:
It is clunky. Also expired my VM. ATT guy had no idea about the app or what it does and couldn't answer why the VM was expired. Seems that this app sets up another VM or sorts. Not crazy about the notifications either as they don;t seem to update when on the conversation...I dunno. Deleted it per the ATT service rep...funny really as one section has no idea what the other is doing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] qwertyaas:
I just get a message that says it can't complete the setup and I should contact AT&T support...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cesierra:
After you install the app and activate the service, this will change your voicemail retrieval number. If you used to call from another line to check your VM, you will need to call a different number from now on. Of course you also get Visual VM now.

I coud not access my mailbox, I was getting a prompt saying that my mailbox was not found, until I realized about this change. I fixed it by updating the call forwarding setting, under Android settings > call settings.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JayFReaZy:
Tried it and don't like it. "Messages" app seems to take up a lot of RAM as well as battery. Made my phone a little laggy at times as well. How do I get my OLD voicemail back?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] AnarchoXen:
I had to call ATT to have the VM reset. It turned in to an hour long process with the ATT guy calling me back 3 times.

Edit..I take that back PIN still isn't working.

the app tells you that your voicemail will change. Its not a surprise by any means. If you want to change back your voicemail just ask that the give you basic voicemail. Takes two minutes. Just don't forget to set your greeting.
