[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
Here's my 2 cents on the battery issue. This is what I do and I get accurate readings *I AM USING THE LATEST ECLIPSE ROM(at least when this post was created)*:

Usually after you charge it fully, as we have experienced, it reports an erroneous reading. I usually let the battery report 60 percent left or so then reboot the phone. After the reboot I find it is the correct percentage for the battery. Reboots that follow after do not change the battery percentage for me thus it leads me to believe it is reporting correctly.

I have tested this by doing extensive streaming and usage. The battery will go below 5 percent and when it dies, its totally dead.

So in a nutshell:

After a complete charge, wait until the battery reports...id say less than 70 percent, reboot the phone. The new battery percentage should be the accurate one.

As I mentioned, I am running eclipse. I do not know if it will be different for any other rom or stock. I just wanted to report my findings :)
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
The problem is rebooting will cause the battery reading to jump 10-20%. It's not any sort of calibration issue. I've noticed that a hot reboot through ROM Toolbox keeps the reading the same. Been working out well for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
Interesting finds....thanks for letting us know....
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Hmm ROM Toolbox works with our phone?

[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Works w/ all phones now. No longer Libery ROM specific.

Edit: Just got the Hot Reboot app and it does the same thing. Using ROM Toolbox, you have to go into the Fonts Installer section, click the 'Menu' button and select 'Reboot'. The Hot Reboot app is easier for this purpose, and keeps my battery readings the same which leads me to believe this problem lies in the kernel..
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Most of it works. I think some of it might cause problems. Good luck ;)

Yeah this is what I suspected... :/

It's a well dev'd app - warns you if it's not supported and tells you about possible dependencies. Don't scare people from a great app. :P

Edit: Ash, have you used it since it's recent overhaul?

Maybe i missed it, but didn't see anything about the battery reading being erratic. :P

Edit: I'm retarded. An auto battery calibration, I see. Let us know, L2
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
I was looking to try that Speedmod but it seems not many people have yet for DX2.
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
powerboost looks worth a try. L2, did you try it yet?

[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
I wonder if the speedy v6 or the supercharger scripts would work too...not sure exact mods for battery they have....
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
To fix the battery jumping? None of the scripts will help with the battery jumping.
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
The powerboost script on rootzwiki says its supposed to but there been some issues getting the script to work it sounds like.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
It just auto calibrates the battery after you reboot. I don't think the OP was informed correctly of the exact nature of the battery jumping. Try the hot reboot i mentioned earlier in this thread. It works. ;) Not the best, but a work around nonetheless.
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
Sounds good thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Tried the full charge, drain to 70, and then reboot. Bumped me back up to 99%. There is no trickery, no nothing that I'm aware of that will fix this. We need to find the file/kernel piece that was changed. I don't know much about moto kernels but its strange that the 2.3.3 kernel won't work with 2.3.4. Guess it has to do with a bootloader lock, bootloader probably checks the md5 of the kernel and devtrees for "security" and then refuses to boot if it doesn't match.

In this case, there's nothing we can do. I know it's in the kernel. We can all go back to 2.3.3 or wait for moto to release an update which I doubt they will. You gotta think how many thousands of other people have this problem around the US. You would think Verizon and Moto would release an update already. It's kinda a big deal.

Anyways that's my rant for today. =\

Tapin' the talk from my Droid x2.
[Motorola Droid X2] mrf582:
I love how all the 2.3.4 roms still say they have 'accurate 1% battery' mods... That's like having digital calipers made by a 12yr old girl in Dongguan, China that read to .001".
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
lol, it is accurate to what the system is reporting, but the system isn't accurate.
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
True that.... I was charging mine today said 40%....rebooted...said 80%....wow, really? Double? Better charge it for a while after it gets full to be safe....lol
[Motorola Droid X2] viskey:
Found out some additional info i thought id share...i know we all thought that after the reboot that the higher % is the accurate one. i am not so sure about that any more....mine was showing 100% for some time on the charger...i booted to charge only mode to charge while the phone was off and it showed 80%. it charged for at least another 30 minutes until it got to 100%. just thought id share my findings...maybe we just have to charge in charge mode only to make sure we get it "fully" charged until if ever a fix comes....
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
For some reason the previous thread was closed and I'm not sure what to delete from my phone since I don't seem to have the htclogger.apk file in my apps folder.

I used root explorer to search for "logger" and get these results:

/data/data/com.htc.loggers

/data/data/com.htc.loggers/bin/htclogger

/data/data/com.htc.loggers/bin/htcloggerd

/system/lib/libhtc_logger.so

Delete 'em all? Rename them?

Thanks!

(took me two searches to find them, the first time I just searched in my app folder for a logger app, it doesn't exist there. I had to do the search from the regular default start screen of Root Explorer).

Oh, I'm running DroidTh3ory's ShiftS3ns3 v 1.5x, which is android version 2.3.4 and Sense version 2.1.

I'm certain I was on 1.4 and upgraded to 1.5x, I think prior to that I may have been on AOSP based ROMs - I was flashing quite a bit for a while there, but this ShiftS3ns3 is my DD for now (his forums are still down).

Any suggestions on what to do w/those files is GREATLY appreciated.

[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
People are pretty sloppy with capitalization, which is significant in Linux. It's /system/app/HtcLoggers.apk
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
If I look in that folder I have listed in alphabetical order:

HtcLockScreen.apk

-then-

htcmailwidgets.apk

Reasonable thought would be that if I had HtcLoggers.apk it would land right in the middle of those two listings in the /app folder, correct?

For whatever reason, I don't think I have it.

Should I try another app other than rootexplorer? I haven't been able to ask my ROMs developer about it (I'm not on twitter and I'm waiting for his site to come back up).
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I have used RootExplorer to remove HtcLoggers.apk so the file manager does show it so it would be reasonably certain that if you're not seeing it, it's not there.

I've successfully removed the apk and com.htc.loggers w/o any problem. Can't say about /system/lib/libhtc_logger.so.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
if you don't want to bother manually scanning/deleting stuff, you can try the app AntTek App Manager. it's like Titanium Backup(but free) and works well.

Cant we just freeze the apk instead of uninstalling?

Anyone else ever seen this happen:

Was flashing my phone and when I entered download mode I got this..

Tried a reset and such (before flashing) and it seems that it happens regardless of turning the phone on or off..

Could it be bad for my phone? Anyone know what could be causing it?

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem.

I tried to flash even the logo is different and it worked flawlessly

Do you have the same phone? The Galaxy S 1 (Plus) ? Do you also get the blue and red dots?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leijonasisu:
Minor update, my Wife's SGS+ (this phone) also experienced some crazy shakiness. Much like that of an old television with a bad tv signal.

Sent it back to get a replacement. No idea what the cause of this is. On top of that her phone was much slower than one should pay for 350€..

I hope no one else has had problems with this. I also updated the video with the new problem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyBallz:
Like the title says... holding the power button does not produce the "Shut down, restart etc" menu anymore. It locks the screen just fine and dose force feed back upon long hold but no menu pops up...any ideas whats up?

This just happened recently.

Also sometimes when I unlock the phone it randomly presses either the home key or back button. Any ideas on this as well?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
the first is a software problem, a reflash should fix it.

the second is a hardware issue, could be caused by humidity inside the phone, remove everything from the phone (battery, cover, cards) drop it ina bag of rice for a few hours to soak up the moisture. if that doesnt work then if you're still under warranty you could get it replaced.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danishboy:
Hello~

I bought the Tab 10.1 and the dock yesterday, I bought the dock thinking if I put the tablet on it I could go into the clock function and have it turned into a desktop alarm clock, but I don't seem to see a clock function, only see an alarm clock, but what I'm wanting is similar to what Android 2.2 offers, but I can't see it in Honeycomb.....

I'm not sure how to explain and sorry to make not much sense.... I bought the tablet in Hong Kong, I checked online and it seems when others put the tablet onto the dock, they can see the clock in large digits (like a screen saver) but mine doesn't do that.....Are these people using a third party clock (alarm clock) or am I missing something in the settings?

Hey Guys, this is my first post so I couldn't do it on the dev forum but help would be appreciated. I flashed this just fine after a full wipe with no problems and it is running great with no problems except on the sense bar Apps and Phone work just fine but the Personalize button does nothing when it's pressed except light up. I can hit the menu button and get to personalize just fine. If this is a bug I just wanted to report it. Awesome ROM by the way! Thanks

Its actually no bug, open the app drawer, open an app called launchkey, and set it as an app thats a rosie reamp so it turns your personalize button into something else, mine i set to see my built in task manager

[HTC Inspire 4G] threejean:
Hey folks,

So I've tried the Hack kit twice now, and both times it failed to work. I went the Unbuntu-on-CD route, typed the command string (with the corrected file name) and clicked on Hack ace. It seemed to progress throught he steps OK (although at one point there was something like "Line 43: something, something failed".

After "a lot of abra-cadabra" it just goes back to the start screen. Should I try the other flash method (it's used fastbootRUU both times)? The process installs the busybox installer app, but when I try to run it, it says "su not found". Also, I can't boot into recovery.

Thanks for any help offered!

[General Topics] lgkahn:
i think this is crap.. no way they would go down on camera specs from 8mp in the galaxy s ii and all there competors to 5 mp.. most likely it will have 12 or 16 mp..

This makes the rest of this suspect as well.
[General Topics] stepping:
This is the original source from BGR.com:

http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/06/samsung-galaxy-nexus-full-specs-revealed-verizon-wireless-exclusive/

And your arguments about the camera specs are right, when you just look at the hype about megapixel. But the image sensor is much more important for the quality of a picture. So i would like it to see the nexus prime with a better sensor, and less mp.

If you are interested, you can search for "megapixel vs. image sensor"

Phones only really need 5mp. 8mp will make the picture larger, but that doesn't mean that it will be better.

Then again if you really want an amazing camera that also happens to make calls, then check out the Nokia N8. 12MP and a Carl Zeiss (SP?) on that bad boy... ;)

[General Topics] upichie:
A little disappointed with the hardware (processor was rumoured differently, for one) but it's still going to be one hell of a phone.
[General Topics] kaynpayn:
What i'd like to see:

I'd very much like if they'd stop making bigger screens. I really think 4'' was the sweet spot, nearly 5'' is... well, too big imo. I realize this may be a requirement for 1280 x 720-pixel res but i honestly believe my phone is big enough as it is (i own an SGS). Granted, higher resolution rules but... well, it's a phone, not a tablet.

I'd also like to see an SD card slot. I can't really see why not. Sure you already have 32Gb. More than enough for me as far as space goes, but i usually leave my phone downloading stuff over the night. SO much faster and easier to just take the card out and plugging in the computer in the morning than having all of that transferred over wireless again.

Android also has a few issues with sdcards (try setting an mp3 as your ringtone stored in the sd, removing, putting the card back in and get a call), but removing the slot completely isn't really a solution and it doesn't take that much space.

Aluminum instead of plastics. Or at least solid stuff for a lasting phone. Phones aren't meant to fall but shi* happens and i'd like my 500€ investment a bit better suited to survive. Don't really mind plastics though, they make my phone lighter, but i'd like some solid stuff for a change. At the very least, nothing as thin as the back cover of an SGS2, please. If we're doing plastics, i'm thinking the back cover of the iphone 3GS. Has a great solid feeling.

I don't care much for the camera. Only think i'd ask is decent, solid shots and that the sensor not to take much space in the back. Cameras usually spoil the design with a huge lump in the back. If it's glass could be made not to touch the surface of the table to prevent scratches, would be cool as well.

What i'd like to see is that great responsiveness to touch iphones have that android seems to lack, even on higher end devices. Sure they work great, but now and then android seems to skip a beat or just lag for 0.5 sec before registering touch. Lockscreens are particularly affected by this.

That said i have really high hopes for ICS. REALLY. I don't care much for competition (hey everyone should use whatever they like or suits them best) but android has always been a few steps ahead of iOS as far as complexity goes. This is a good thing, for me at least. I don't mean to offend anyone, but really, every time i need to use iOS i feel kind of retarded. Hand feeding me stuff that'd be obvious already just works against me. Apple didn't do much to add for that (seen loads of people disappointed, me included) so I honestly believe android can push it ahead once and for all.

My needs may be a bit different that the rest of the world, but i'd prefer some core improvements (like responsiveness improved and bug corrections) other than extra semi-useless new features (like voice control). That'd make for a more solid experience, imo. All that said, I'm kind of excited about this, might really be my next phone if it hits enough spots on my book.
[General Topics] bhu1:
Good you pointed out about screen as many people including you have a little bit misunderstanding about bigger screens- a bigger screen doesn't mean a very big phone. they reduce the extra space from edges and boundaries to make screen big( give a nice look at sgs2 and sgs2 HD lte and you'll notice that sgs2 has a big home button which is more of a square whereas sgs2 hd lte has a mere small rectangle home button so they have reduced spaces for sure and also the small buttons will be till convinient to press), now the big fact in case of Samsung galaxy nexus or nexus prime is that it wont have those capacitive, back, menu ,home(mostly hard key) buttons, Those will be replaced by on screen buttons so more space reduced for bigger screen. All other things you pointed out will be made cleared once the ics and new device is itself released but about touch responsiveness - all smartphones these days have nearly same touch sensors which are gr8 but the thing which makes apple devices smoother and more responsive is GPU acceleration, which is very good in apple's ios then in android that's why many people were asking the Guy who got the ics equipped nexus s that ' did you feel gr8 touch responsiveness on your nexus s ?'. I am also looking forward to this event to know that will ics have gpu accelearion or not.

Nexus Prime correct Specs

CORRECT SPECS:

http://www.gsmarena.com/source_close_to_google_reveals_real_nexus_prime_specs-news-3239.php

"According to our source, the device codenamed Nexus Prime is going to ship with Samsung's own chipset, with a blazingly fast dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. But wait, there's more.

On that chipset will also reside a powerful dual-core GPU from Imagination. We suspect it's going to be the PowerVR SGX543MP2, or in other words, the same GPU found in the iPad 2 (and quite probably on the iPhone 4S as well).

On the back, instead of the 5-megapixel snapper, our source claims, there's an 8-megapixel, full 1080p HD video-shooting camera with some sort of an improved sensor. As for the battery, expect a 2050mAh one (do we hear a whoa?), which should be good for a couple of days use without charging.

The Nexus Prime will also be LTE-enabled, but the most interesting part is that it would probably boast a dual-mode GSM/CDMA radio, just like the Apple iPhone 4S.

All those specifications sound almost too nice to be true, but keeping in mind the advertisement for the Nexus Prime, prompting us that "something BIG is coming", we won't be surprised if all of these purported specs turn out to be real.

What we do know for sure is that the head-turning 4.65-inch, 1280x720 pixels screen is definitely a go. Whatever the truth might be, we'll definitely find out on October 11, which is just a few days from now."
[Acer Iconia A500] kpfx:
Is the back of your Iconia A500 really metal Aluminum or is it plastic made to look like brushed metal?

I know... silly sounding question but I noticed a lot of posts and reviews for the Iconia which mention the brushed aluminum case as a plus, giving it a sturdy feel. However, I swear that mine is just regular plastic made to look like brushed metal. Not really a bad thing but it struck me as odd to be pointing that out if it's not really metal.

So, unless I've just become old and can't tell the difference between metal and plastic I thought I'd ask all of you what your back panel is really made of?

Maybe it's just the Gen-2 USA version that went plastic? For reference mine was manufactured in Aug '11 (PN XE.H60PN.002)

It looks to be a mixed bag... some are plastic, some are aliminum. A co-worker just got one at Target and it was plastic like mine, but a demo unit at OfficeDepot was metal... so maybe just the newer runs?
