Hows the battery life you guys are experiencing with the mango update in general with and without battery saver mode on

is battery saver mode making a big difference?

im using battery saver for when the battery gets low and im noticing a bit of a stretch of extra battery life on my htc trophy (verizon)

when u turn battery saver mode on doesnt that disable notifications push and toast?

i know i havent tried the battery saver mode on the whole day to notice any difference just wanted to see if anybody else has yet and what kinda life are u getting on battery saver mode on all the time and when the battery gets low
[Windows Phone 7 General] elcapo24682:
well for the one day that I left my charger at home by accident when going to school I turned on battery saver mode and was able to make it through the entire day with my normal use habits with about 30% remaining once I got home. this was when I was on 7712 haven't done this on the official yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Syst3m:
My 7720 experience was pretty horrid with battery life until I got the Samsung update on Tuesday. I went from barely making it 10-12 hours on a charge to 18-24 hours. I can get up to 1.5 hours with battery saver turned on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
For the first couple of days, I left my status set to "online" the entire day, and my battery barely lasted through the day (around 15 hours). Battery saver mode came on after about 13 hours, or it wouldn't have lasted.

Today I set myself to offline, and last time I checked it (after around 8 hours of normal use), it showed 80%. So it seems pretty clear to me that overall, Mango battery life is very good, but keeping yourself online is a killer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
same here but HTC surround. Went from 7712 to official mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Battery saver mode works pretty well for me... I love it... Thank god its inbuilt and I didn't had to download another one dollar application to do this thing.. Things like this should be inbuilt .. Also adding additional tile shortcuts of any kind we want..
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Haven't tried it. Battery life went down noticeably but I have chargers everywhere. I stay online all day. If I wasn't online in message hub I'd be online in some other app so why not. On Android my gtalk is always on as well. Don't see this phone lasting a day for me with or without battery saver, lol.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I'm still debating about staying online all day. Most of the people I chat with on Facebook are online in the evening, but not so much during the day.

But I love the battery saver option. When I was online all day, and it did kick in toward the end of the day, I observed the battery usage drop to a mere trickle (it only lost around 1-2% per hour after that). So, without having to change anything, I can be assured that my phone will still be available in an emergency.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nutnithin:
at full charge my venue pro shows me around 3 days and 18 or so hrs...with battery saver i get 3 more added...best part is i play music moderately, use the radio, wifi on all the time and at the days end it stil shows around 2 days and 12 hrs or so time left....is somthing wrong cos when i first bought the phone, 15 hours was the maximum i got for the phone.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] megagprime:
plug in charge usb messenging hub locks up

has anybody had this happen?

when your phone is in battery saver mode and you plug it in it becomes unresponsive and kind of locks up. messages and emails don't send or receive.

only way it ever happens for me:

if i was in a message and i plug into usb computer or wall outlet power the phone cant switch back from a message to the list of messages, i cant send the message that is typed, i cant type, and no messages are received (or show up after a reset) i can go back home but every time i try to do something it says loading and closes:confused:has happened for a year now:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Battery life for me in Mango and 8107 (or whatever the latest update is called) has been pretty awful. I recently did a hard reset.

Post hard reset, a full charge would say 1D 4hours or something

After a few weeks, a full charge now says 18 hours, but lasts considerably less.

By noon my phone is at 50%, if I don't charge it, it hits battery saver mode by the time I leave (6pm). That's with taking it off the charger at 7am, and barely using it. Pretty horrible.

I'm seriously considering a BlackBerry. WP is great and all, but it's just not built for business use. And I need a battery that can last more than 10 minutes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Sounds like you have a bad battery. My titan is at about 72% after an 8 hour day with lots of email use and some browsing / texting through the day. (i check 7 email account and exchange and hotmail are both push) Currently at 10pm mine still says 52% and estimates 10 more hours use. Now if i were to play a game for an hour or more i'd probably kill it but for browsing and more business like use... it can't be beat. My old surround lasts about 16 hours with wifi on unless my wife games it to death.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Geez I wish.

Maybe it is time to switch it out. I've had it since Jan '11.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshua_h:
Hi,

I really like the calendar widget called "month" available under the stock launcher "TwLauncher" and i want to display that same widget on another launcher such as Launcher Pro .. how do I do this??

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshua_h:
could someone please help ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
It will only work with the TW launcher, if you want to use launcher pro then you will have to use a different widget for your calender. The market has quite a few so I suggest you download some and try them out or use the TW launcher.

Does anyone know of a way to do the tethering hack using Linux?
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
There aren't any diagnostic mode NV access tools for linux that I am aware of.

Certainly none publicly available, although I am sure they exist.
[Motorola Droid 3] volcanomike:

[Motorola Droid 3] nutpn:
hack

edited to say there is a zip file around that may work ,we will have to ask cellzealot
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
That zip file is for use with radiocomm only. Radiocomm isn't supported on linux:-[
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
There is a way to do this like we did for the DX and D2 in update.zip format.

We haven't released it in this form because the entire subject of free tethering has become a very high profile and controversial matter and has caused us a lot of grief, including having our app pulled from the market and many other issues surrounding this exploit.

We may decide to release it again in this form, but leaving it as a pure hack that involves a PC and serviceware raises the bar and forces users to take greater responsibility for their actions.

Using the NVM tables I posted in that thread will automate the NV writes in RadioComm and work on any device.
[Motorola Droid 3] nutpn:
zip files

will the one that is around work on this d3,I have it ,I saved it but dont use it since I have wifi in the house now,pm sent to dsw361
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
No, it won't...that is why we haven't re released it for MDM6600 chipset devices.

This is serious business with a capital "B" for Billions of dollars at stake!

People don't seem to realize this and understand why the carriers and OEMs are trying so hard to put an end to it and limit its use.

We have very mixed feelings about packaging it in such a way that anyone with a rooted device can flash an update.zip having no concept of the underlying principles and or liabilities for theft of services.

Before we ever released it the first time we had serious reservations about it that turned out to be true. This is one of the primary reasons for moving to SIM based authentication for all future LTE devices.
[Motorola Droid 3] nutpn:
disregard the PM

I knew if anyone would know it would be cellzealot,thanks again

Disregard the PM dsw361,I was so tickled we finally got wifi here in the country
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tallnerd1985:
Hey there,

Here is a guide for what to do after you have installed Webtop2sd and moved the Webtop to the sdcard. This guide, using [mbm]'s patch, will install gnome-terminal along with a rebuilt DPKG-repo so that way you can run apt-get, synaptic or aptitude to download new software for your Webtop. Along with this guide there is a link to Fenny's HDMI hack for those who don't have the laptop dock or the HD Dock for the Bionic.

Bionic Webtop Over HDMI Hack

Prerequisites:

1) Rooted Bionic

2) Webtop Patch

3) ADB already configured

4) Patience

First things first, go ahead and download [mbm]'s patch for Webtop that enables apt-get, synaptic package manager and gnome-terminal services in Webtop and place that file on the root of your sdcard. Then follow these commands step by step to apply the patch.

After booting into webtop:

**take note that you must run the "mount -o remount, rw /" command anytime you reboot your phone because any programs you get thru apt-get or synaptic will error out during installation

After that is done, go ahead and rename the folder /etc/tomoyo to something else like /etc/toy or whatever you want (Note, webtop2sd already takes care of this part for the user). After that, go ahead and dock your phone to see what happens cause you will be presented with a normal looking Webtop but if you hold down ctrl+alt+t, then it brings up the terminal!

From here, you can run "gksu synaptic" and use the password "test" to start installing various different programs and packages that are normally available on Ubuntu.

Important!

If you mess up your Webtop partition in any kind of way and need to restore it back to stock, please download this custom FXZ and flash thru RSD to bring you back to stock again.

Webtop RSD Restore

Dependencies

Take caution when modding Webtop because there are some dependencies that will break Webtop if they are upgraded such as anything ending in a .mot or anything resembling that.

Credits

Please thank [mbm] for fixing what Motorola took out, without him, none of this would be possible without his patch.

Sogarth for being the pioneer of Webtop hacking and for porting over his Webtop2sd app to give us more storage to play with.

Fenny for bringing over his Webtop over HDMI hack to our phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tallnerd1985:
Desktop Enviroment:

If you do not like the default LXDE and AWN setup that comes preloaded on Webtop, you do have the ability to change some settings in the phone to use different Desktop environments such XFCE, Gnome-Panel, FBPanel or etc, etc.

After installing your DE of choice thru apt-get or synaptic, navigate on your phone with Root File Explorer to /osh/usr/local/bin/ and open the file "start-oshwt-2.sh" in the text editor and you will be presented with something that looks like this:

From here, if you comment out the sfalv -i "awn-autostart", then add to the script sfalv -i "xfdesktop" and sfalv -i "xfce4-panel" if you installed xfce4 or whatever Desktop environment you installed. If you followed this, your script should look like this:

Working Programs:

OpenOffice

XFCE4

Xchat

LxTerminal

Transmission

lxpanel

rdesktop

VLC Player (Video is choppy)

Gnome-Panel

Evolution Email

Chrome-Browser
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:
Can we get some more info on this? What programs can I get to work?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tallnerd1985:
You can check out the Atrix forums to see what others have installed but for me, I've install VLC Player and Xchat, both work very well but I am running out of space but that will be fixed with Webtop2sd app.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] danegrclose:
Same here :( This is getting frustrating, I couldn't get the Webtopchromium hack to work from v1r7u41 and now I can't get this to work. The Webtopchromium would at least install although it wouldn't launch. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated as the standard lapdock is gimped to say the least.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
So I'm using the webtop hack and loving it. When it first starts, it prompts you to select your display settings. Well, I picked some I don't like now, and I can't find the option for it again. Can anyone direct me in the right place?

Thanks.

Figured it out. Couldn't see the settings due to the display. Hovered over top right and got settings to show.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] v1r7u41:
Working great for me. I need to remount / everytime I want to use apt-get (dpkg). I think I got that error too. Run:

echo $SHELL

to make sure it is bash and just keep going.

@mistawolfe

Click on the settings cog wheel thing (upper right) then display settings (maybe display) resolution I can't remember I got rid of the webtop-panel.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tallnerd1985:
Added some updates to the process of unlocking Webtop to the main page. Feel free to pm me any hacks or tricks that you have found past my guide or post them here if you feel like.

P.S.

If anybody care to make a flashable zip file for CWM to make this process easier, PM your link to the zip and I will post a mirror for it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] larsdennert:
Could someone bring me up to speed? Are you using the on screen keyboard and mouse functionality or external mouse and keyboard. I can't get anything done with the onscreen controls. They don't work right. Softkeys don't work at all. Mouse jumps all over and keyboard pushes result in totally different keys being typed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
ok, followed instructions on the updated op, ignored and continued after getting these " /bin/bash

bash: groups: command not found

bash: lesspipe: command not found"

errors after "apt-get update" command i get 0% [connecting to ports.ubuntu.com] and thats it, just stays at 0%. so after 5-10 mins i unplug phone dock, and alt-ctrl-delete...get nothing...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Reminon:
I also followed the update. When i came to the apt-get update command i get a "not found" error....so i went on in webtop amd opened terminal->sudo synaptic. It started up fine, although i dont see any packages that arent already installed....so i was trying to find some repos, but when i try to add one the button is grayed out after i type the url...so will someone give me some advice on the missing apt-get...and a list of repos compatible with webtop? Sorry for beimg clueless..its been a while since ive used linux "other than android".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] danegrclose:
I got the same errors until I added the "Update" folder and followed the code that was added tonight. Try the code on the Update folder that was added today and see if that works for you too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
so i get that error when apt-get update in cmd, so i go to webtop and open terminal, type sudo...not found, synaptic...not found, what the heck am i doing wrong here?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
Yes it works perfectly.

I need to ask Fenny how to modify the apk files properly so I can try to make this work on Razr and D4. I tried these and they don't work on the new models with updated webtop version and new apks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
Please explain to me how you were able to apply this to 902.

Did you apply this before you updated, or did you update then apply the web top patch?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
After updating to 5.9.902, I just reapplied the hacks the same way I did for the previous versions and then reran the mbm.tar.bz2 mods.

Everything is working fine and I have gnome-panel set as default when I open webtop on my 32" Sony HDTV with BT KB and mouse.

I do not have webtop2sd setup, just the standard webtop on the phone.

Edit: Someone PM'd me about the mbm.tar.bz2 not running properly. I need to leave for work but will try to answer back later.

It sounds like they need to be sure to mount commands for / and try again.

I did nothing different and followed the instructions as they are written in the OP, with the exception of renaming /etc/tomoyo to /etc/toy before opening up the webtop and running apt-get update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] haupman:
Does anyone have this hack working with Webtop2SD and 902? I don't have any idea how to apply this hack to the standard webtop on the phone like Cellzealot did.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] squito:
Hey everyone

I did get this to work on 902

the file that has been uploaded to the new link a few pages back does not seem to work right. i made this form in the Q&A section a week or 2 back http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500585 trying to figure out the problem. i ended up finding a version of the MBM file i had before megaupload went down and i have a link in this therad. i hope this may help some of you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] haupman:
After following the instructions and booting into Webtop, I hit Ctrl+Alt+T and receive the following error:

"There was an error running gnome-terminal:

Failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal" (No such file or directory)."

Can anyone provide any insight?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] haupman:
I have figured out the problem. The file on mindcrime.net threw off the following errors when extracting:

/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'

/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'

/bin/tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'

According to a website, this means "Then you'll likely need to update the version of gnu tar on the box that created the backups, and then create the backups again."

I used the file squito provided along with the instructions in the original post and everything worked perfectly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cyberhern:
It works great on 902 as is... Just go to the original post for Webtop2SD!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15109140#post15109140

After your done, come back here... Start with the "Post-Webtop2SD" first post.

You will need a file (mbm.tar.bz2) one of us freeflysage has reposted it on his page.

Although I should say, I had to dig up my original because freeflysage's didn't work for me.

I will the leave it in my sugersync for a month or so. Use it if you get stuck with the freeflysage w.site

Has anyone been able to run Chromium? When I try to run it, it crashes very quickly. This seems to be a problem with Ubuntu 10.10. If not, what is the browser of choice to use? Firefox is very clunky.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brian88lx:
Chromnium has been crashing on me as well. Ive just been using firefox. Have you created a swap partition on your sdcard to help performance?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] haupman:
I believe the basic WebTop2SD App creates a swap partition automatically. I only ran that app.

On another message board, someone wrote that TLS needs to be disabled. I can't even get to the options as Chromium crashes as soon as the options screen comes up.

Doing a search on Google seems to indicate that Chromium crashes on Ubuntu on 10.10 with no resolution.

Edit: I did disable it via command line and it still crashed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] haupman:
I created a swap partition of 1 GB and it still crashes with the same or even more frequency.

I installed 3 different versions: 5, 6 and 10 and it still crashes with a Bus error.

I am convinced there is no way to put a stable Chromium browser on WebTop2SD and we are forced to go with FireFox, which is apparently why so little people are still using this hack anymore.

Does anyone tried to install omap4-ubuntu-extras?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ted1735:
At one point I had Chromium 13 running smoothly. However I upgraded something wrong and borked my whole webtop. I found using debian testing and experimental worked well for resolving dependencies. The Chromium bug so to speak is resolved after version 10.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

The app is a very nice wrapper for rsync. You can manually do an rsync to the sd partition, after manually partitioning the sdcard into 3 disks, mmcblk0p1 (main), mmcblk0p2 (webtop/osh), and mmcblk0p3 (swap).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] haupman:
I went ahead and downloaded version 13 from this link and it still crashed. I didn't attempt to resolve any dependencies after installing because I wasn't sure exactly what to do.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/13.0.782.107~r94237-0ubuntu2/+build/2664101

I am giving up on Chromium. The goal is simply to have fast web browsing and following the steps on the below link makes Firefox just as fast as Chrome. Follow the steps in the middle of the page "Alternate Method for Broadband Users" and your Mozilla experience will be 10x better.
