Hey, I've been searching the ZTE Blade forums for everything that has anything to do with installing Ubuntu but I found nothing. I found out that CM7 for ZTE doesn't have Loop Devices support.

I can find out how to install Debian or make a CHroot Debian img for ZTE Blade but to be able to start testing that I need a rom with Loop Devices support.

Can a dev release a CM7 (or anything else I don't mind) with Loop Devices activated, or atleast give me a few pointers on how to edit an Open-Source Rom to activate it myself?

Risky business? You bet.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
How is that risky? That's the best business move they've made in some time. The last moderately revolutionary device sprint had was the evo 4g and that's been awhile. They even got the overall worst of the wp7 devices. Sprint has become a joke and this really is their best shot at redemption. Honestly, of the big 4 I see the survivors being the ones that offer iPhones. As much as I hate it, T-mobile has become a joke which sucks with their awesome hardware and rate plans but they don't have the iPhone and being the smallest of the big 4, likely won't get it unless apple makes a last ditch effort at market share and that's only if t-mobile accepts it. T-mobile has always been the most 'indie' of the providers so I wouldn't put it past them to reject such a proposal. At this point, what I want to see is t-mobile behind wp7 and the other three backing iOS, everyone sells android, but there's no specific primary carrier for it because it's so loose you could have it running on a toaster. Att would still likely be getting as good, if not better windows phones as well, and lets face it, if you're using sprint or Verizon you dont swap out phones that often and i think that's left to the less nerdy who make more sense on ios. Eventually, ATT realizes they're offering nothing special and likely aren't getting all the great cuts the larger carrier (Verizon) is so they move to wp7 as a primary market which at this point will be wp8 or so and with the integration with home PCs coming in windows 8/windows phone creates an almost new market. IOS is tossed aside because they can only offer such things to a meager percent of the population who want to pay 3 times as much for the same hardware. Android and windows phone become the big competitors, and while android retains customization, WP has flawless integration which will be poorly copied with android apps but never duplicated. From there, it will be a matter of choice.

That's how I see the whole thing going anyway :-p
[General Topics] ToonXW:
Haha, thanks for the information! I don't live in the US so I don't that much information you see. :)
[General Topics] Longcat14:
No.

No way Apple would sell out to that, because that would just make them lose profit.

Right now, all the iPhone users are on AT&T and Verizon, and lots of people are waiting for the new phone to upgrade, and do NOT want to switch carriers, so why would they risk losing sales just so Sprint can have the iPhone 5 exclusive for a few months? Not going to happened.

Sprint would be willing to do it, Apple, not so much. They don't need to be exclusive to one carrier, because every single carrier in the world wants the iPhone. AT&T got the exclusive 4 year contract because it was a new phone, iPhone is known by everyone now, Apple won't sell out.
[General Topics] ToonXW:
Perhaps Apple would agree due to the fact that Sprint offered an agreement of purchase regardless of sale statistics? I'm not sure.

Thanks for the tip!

Hello,

I'm using betterbatterystats to invenstigate why my battery usage in standby modus is so high.

It used always at night 5-8mA (different roms in the pass)

Suddenly it used 10-15mA.

Wifi (sleeppolicy to never) and 3G always on.

I tried:

- different radio's

- different roms (redux 1.2/2 test, oxygen 2.2.2/2.3, F1, dGB 1.4)

- only install rom and no apps

- change channel and position router

Nothing fixed it.

Battery drain still excists.

Has someone a idea?

This is the output from betterbatterystats.

See someone a problem?

What is the AlarmManager?

It has a lot of wakeup's

Thanks for the help!!

Turn off 3G and WiFi and see what happens. Did you set any alarms?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oudbrood:
No alarms.......

Turning wifi and 3G off right now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oudbrood:
Here the results from a small test:

Wifi and 3G off: 4-7-5-8 mA

Wifi off and 3G on: 7-9-6-9 mA

Wifi on and 3G off: 6-7-9-8 mA

Wifi on and 3G in: 12-13-14-13 mA

I can imagine that some of these values ​​are fine for a lot of people.

Before I went on vacantion this summer I had lower values with wifi and 3G always on and different roms.

I came back and flashed a update of the rom. Since than I had those higher mA. I always do a full wipe when flash a rom and don't use titanium to put settings back.

Shoot me..... :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacosal:
What’s your opinion about how Android Market describes its own permissions? Is Google damaging users and developers with descriptions like these?

DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS

Allows the application to call phone numbers without your intervention. Malicious applications may cause unexpected calls on your phone bill. Note that this does not allow the application to call emergency numbers.

DISPLAY SYSTEM-LEVEL ALERTS

Allows an application to show system alert windows. Malicious applications can take over the entire screen.

RETRIEVE RUNNING APPLICATIONS

Allows application to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. May allow malicious applications to discover private information about other applications.

What do you think?

Looks okay , But was hoping for more a Honeycomb GUI , as ive just got rid of a 2.3 Tablet to get the HP touch pad to flash to 3.0 but will 3.0 ever happen for the Touch pad ?
[TouchPad General] Kienz:
The general consensus seems to be that HC will not appear on the TP; as the source code was never released by Google.

What is more likely to happen is that 2.3.5 will be on the initial CM release for the Pad; with ICS being the next logical step, once it's released.

I may be wrong,

But I believe that is the long and short of it.

Hope this helps.
[TouchPad General] kreoXDA:
ugh! I would settle for 1.6 just so it is not the ugly webOS cripple.
[TouchPad General] Kienz:
I actually kind of like WebOS.

The not-having-multiple-screens-to-swipe-left-or-right thing takese a bit of getting used to (I'm not sued to it yet).

I definitely favor Android over all other O/S.

I installed it and it works fine (for what works at least). Anyone know how to actually install another app into it? I downloaded an APK and put it in the apks folder (in webOS) but I don't know where to look for it within chroid. Is this even possible? The guide says you can do it.

Edit: I just checked back in WebOS and Govnah doesn't show the overclock kernal. Uninstal/Reinstall the stock or overclock kernals doesn't change it. Max Freq. is 1.2 ghz ... uh oh
[TouchPad General] Solidus_n313:
if you want to O/C again, you have to doctor 3.0.2 back on, then redo the preware etc.

as for the apps, put them in that folder and they will auto install, thats what i did, and got titanium installed :) (even tho its useless/keeps crashing, i had it available)

Sorry, it adds Google Shopper as well. Supposedly they added another security layer to the 2 apps which is why its tough for devs to get it working on custom ROMs. Kernel.org got hacked and the 2.3.7 source hasn't been released yet. Its really a small incremental update...but ICS is next

[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
had this phone for like 17 days now.

Rooted it. Use the wifi teather app alot but thing is it ALWAYS get hot, hot enough to cook eggs. Either that or it just randomly restarts. OR wifi teather lose connection so I have to restart it which is a sign that the phone will restart in a few more minutes....let's see what else, I have a car charger that went for a ATT phone but it works on the Photon thing is it doesn't even charge the phone. Here I am %5 battery left when getting off work so I hop into my car plug the phone up so it appears charging right? but soon as I get home and disconnect the phone it turns off with%0 whatttttt!! and one more thing that crappy keyboard. I hate how they have the "." symbol beside the tab bar, it's too freaking small.

I thought I was getting the good deal here when I gave my wife the Evo and me getting a brand new shinny phone. Ha. I think I'm going to get the 3D :mad:

Update#1: wow like 20 mins later and wow the wifi timed out already had to restart it. Yeah this is really making me appreciate the Evo. This is my first Motorola phone by the way.Last.

Update#2: Just found out you can't send SMS messages while you're on the phone. The Evo did it all the time. not MSM messages but plain old text messages........on top of that I called sprint to see about sending me a HTC Evo 3D but they told me I'd have to wait till my 30 days are up(Oct 16) before they can send me a phone out BECAUSE I'm in Alaska(Army) now and of course sprint don't have a walk in store here so I can't send the phone back in to the sprint store I got it from in GA, I'd be without a phone for like 3 weeks. So Sprint high above said they would send me a 3D after my 30 days are up.......Guess it gives me more time to think about all this. I do like the design and the Extra that it's a world phone but meh I guess I want need it unless this phone works over in Afghanistan. hmmmm.

update#3 Scratch the Evo 3D.........because I'm getting the Iphone 4gs. my 30 days will be up oct 16 then sprint will send me a replacement of my choice. $199 iphone 4gs I can't wait!!!. The Photon is great but I just prefer something else with a bit more life too it. Thanks guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lilrepo:
This might be right, I believe the issue comes at a point where the settings

within the WiFiTeather app for Transmit Power is at %100.

You might want to try to reduce the Transmit power and see if that helps it.

About the issue with car charging, I don't believe your alone on this,

However seeing as though this post lacks detail information regarding Current Running apps,

Services being active like 4g/wifi/BT/GPS and the power/amp going to the phone from the charger,

it might be hard to give you a definitive answer.

I also have had this issue and I can't say that it's only the photon.

All in all good luck and maybe someone here that is more advanced in power consumption will be able to shine light on this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
You won't find a phone that doesn't get really hot when tethering for a good period of time. You cant blame the phone when an accessory that isn't made for it doesn't work with it.. There are many alternative keyboards available if the stock doesn't suit you. Have fun with your 3d.

[Motorola Photon 4G] noob_2010:
The phone is plugged up when I run wifi tether. yeah I figured it was the power option under wifi tether settings but didnt want to change anything that would stop wifi tether from working......in the car I have pandora radio playing while charging=no charge.

Get the gingerbread keyboard....the stock one isn't that great. And try a different car charger, I have a generic off brand one and I've never had an issue with it working.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] namansell:
A co-worker had a blackberry microusb charger at work, now A: good news is my photon battery last very very long I can get through my nine hour work day with moderate use and still have < 10%. B: The blackberry charger although plugged in and a gave charging animation, never seem to actually raise the % of power. It may have slowed it but not by a whole lot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Like xTMFxOffshore said, you can always use gingerbread keyboard or many others. Remember, this is Android not the iPhone, you can use a different keyboard, and a different launcher... Just switch to a new keyboard, (I prefer Smart Keyboard Pro, or A.I.Type Keyboard), and you might enjoy your phone again. If you don't like Motorola's launcher try the ever-so-customizable Go Launcher / Go Launcher Ex, or Launcher Pro, or just look in the Market for more launchers. If you don't Motorola's Dialer, look in the Market for a dialer such as Rocket Dialer, or Go Contacts/Go Contacts Ex. Same applies for Browser (I like Dolphin HD Browser personally), SMS application (I like GoSMS personally), Camera application (I like the stock Camera app personally), and much more. Look in the Market. Themes for Launchers, some SMS apps, some Dialers, (both such as GoSMS/GoContacts), set the tone for the application, and make it more enjoyable.

I had the same experience with the charger, except it was a home charger. Try buying on Amazon.com, Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Charger and have a new car charger that works.

As for wifi tethering, lilrepo and Acvice already addressed that above. Try the Wifi Tether 3.1, beta6 app, found on the website.

Now if you follow our tips, you can fall in love with the Photon all over again.

As for the random restarts, you may have a loose battery, call Motorola and explain that to them, and for motivation tell them about the charger, (you may have to say it won't charge), and remind them that you are covered by a 1 year warranty for all parts and accessories. They will ask for your serial number/IMEI found in the About section of your phone, and send one to your home address. If you get a new battery, break it in by first draining it until your phone shuts off, charging it to 100% while off, repeat those steps again, and it will be "broken in."

Another possibility for the random restarts, is overheat protection. Your Photon will turn off / restart to prevent overheat, or when the processor gets overloaded. Try not to charge your phone while using the tether app, as that makes it hotter.

One more tip: to keep and maintain a healthy battery on all phones, Once A Month: Drain your battery until the phone shuts off, then charge it to 100% while off.

Also remember, this phone is the best in signal and call clarity.

Remember to update your PRL once a month, to get better service.

Good luck, I hope I helped! Looking forward towards your reply.

PS- You may have a faulty phone, the first couple batches of Photons were kinda iffy. Go to your point of purchase or call/email them, and you may get a free replacement. If all else fails, contact Motorola.

[Motorola Photon 4G] roseng:
Came from a BB 9650. I had an XPERT and hated it.

Got the Photon and had the same issues you have.

After the updates it was much better but still getting hot. I finally exchanged it and now running the same apps no more heat issues.

I had a problem with entering TXT or dialing and that was an app crashing the phone. Not sure what app but I went back to bare minimum including a fair number of apps and an exchange email client and no more issues.

I think you need to exchange the phone before you make a final decision.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
My last 4 phones (Tilt, Fuze, Evo and Mopho) all get hot tethering, you are, more or less, draining the battery at a high rate of speed!. 2nd, there are a MILLION different options for another keybord, use one of the suggestions here or search until you find one YOU like. As far as restarts, one, you rooted it, two, its possible you have a broken phone?

Lastly (and trust me, I learned the HARD way!) Not all chargers are alike!! A friend of mine quit and left his BB charger and I figured I would use it for Evo. I could use that thing till the cows came home before I got maybe 30 or 40%? Even though the spec's looked the same, my chargers worked. Ended up using BB charger for bluetooth.
[Motorola Photon 4G] noefects:
i would have to agree with everyone as well, my OG droid would get so hot i could barely even touch it, after about 15 minutes of WIFI tethering the battery would hit the 60c range and shortly turn off, even look at dedicated WIFI hotspots that are designed to be used constantly they get just as hot ( i had a mifi from Verizon, and i have a sprint 4g hotspot for work both get very hot)my mifi would slow to a crawwwwwl after about 6 hours of use till it cooled down. this is going to happen anytime you stick something like wifi in such a small form factor feel your wifi router at home its hot too and it at least has some notches for passive cooling. the fact of the matter is that all phones were not designed to do this long term. enjoy your 3d as its going to be the same deal for you.
