[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
I don't really understand what people are trying to solve.

Your problem is you left your phone on performance mode and it drained your battery. That's like leaving you car lights on and expecting it not to drain the battery. I'm exhibiting extreme heavy usage vs normal practical usage and how the ROM does *not* affect it negatively relative to your daily usage of the phone.

In my normal day, I would not have bluetooth running all day, which from my above data consistently drains 30% of the battery. Bluetooth is only used when I'm in my car which it connects to the car audio for phone and music. In my normal work day, I would not have GPS running all day, which from my recent post is draining 43% of the battery. In a normal week, I would only need to use GPS to find a unique restaurant that maybe I haven't been to or in an area I am not familiar. The main point for the contribution in this "battery investigation" is that I am not experiencing any radio loss, connection failure, or system lag by having Data shut off.

I really do not see the occassion that anyone would ever use their phone heavily for 20+ hours straight. Or even more than a movie's length straight. I could think of possible arguement points such as hiking and needing it to last for saftey/emergencies -- but why would you have it full blast on performance? Long car rides -- but if you are doing an 8+ hour drive, don't you plan on having a car charger? I just don't get what people's frustrations are. I do understand the problem that people's battery tick abnormally which is a fault of either the device, a defective battery, or lack of following directions when using the ROM. Again, the ROM is a development, and no one is forcing you to use it. It is actually quite nice to test, run into a problem, report it and have it fixed within days/weeks instead of months or never like the stock.

I guess I've rambled into a rant, but I'm merely providing my own experience in details so that people have a general feel of how the battery is and if my usage is similar to theirs.

I'm not claiming to have average/above average battery life, I'm justifying that this has not affected my daily use of the phone for everything that I use it for (being connected to work, being socially connected, and games/movies/music).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbutters:
Easy, Tiger...

The issue is that some people (myself included) are regularly getting 5-7 hours of light usage out of our phones. I recently was at a conference, during which my phone was on standby in my bag for two whole days. Both days, by the time lunch rolled around and I pulled out my phone to check for messages, the battery was at 15%. For 5 hours with no usage, that's a problem. Add to that the early reviews that praised the Bionic's batter life compared to older Motorola Droids, and some user's claims of 12+ hours of medium usage on a single charge, and you can see why we would want to figure out what the difference is.

For the record, on those days at the conference, the first day I was running the Deodexed stock ROM, and the second day I was running Droid Th3ory's 1.5. Both days showed terrible battery life, around 5-6 hours of VERY light usage - working a crossword over coffee, and three email checks. Even using Tasker to turn off the data connection while the screen is off, even turning off LTE and just using CDMA, I get the same results. There is a problem here. It's not as simple as you've made it out to be. Chill, and if you don't have anything to add to the conversation, ranting and berating doesn't add anything.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I am a very conservative user as far as GPS, Bluetooth, and Wifi go - I only use them when I need them and always turn them off when I'm not.

I've no novice to Android. I know how to check to see what processes are running or if certain apps are killing my battery.

I know how to properly wipe and install a ROM, in addition to wiping battery stats.

Bottom line: I did all of that and Unl3ash3d still drained the hell out of my battery. I flashed back to stock, froze a few apps, calibrated, and I'm getting far better battery life.

I love the ROM (minus said battery drain) and the developers, but I just couldn't deal with having to plug in every hour. Hopefully they pinpoint the issue soon. When they do, you best believe I'll be flashing back...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Ditto all this. Dunno what the issue is, but I use my Bionic for business and can't have it dying and/or losing data connectivity so often. As soon as the issues are fixed, I'll be back on it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbutters:
Oddest thing - I just restored back to stock from 1.7. Had the phone plugged in the entire time, started at 100%. After completing the flash and one-click-root, while still plugged into the charger, the phone reports 80% battery. I wonder if, somewhere in there, the battery reading ended up being off by 20%? I haven't had a chance to wipe battery stats or anything yet. I'm going to run it stock rooted for a while and see how we do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Beefcake550:
I went back to stock rooted and it seemed to get better.

**can the administrator move this thread to HTC Desire HD Genreal - i've mistaked and posted it here :)))**

Hi,

I've been searching over google and xda forum for a fix.

I've been having no gps signal at all - no matter where i've been.

I've come across this post:

h**p:**ww*.uberreview.com/2011/09/broken-htc-desire-hd-gps-possible-fix.htm

read the details there.

What you need to do?

Just push firmly on the LED until you'll here "click" or not.

after a minute or so that i've pushed i got out side and got 4-5 after few seconds!!!!!!!!

It's a life saver - I've even took it to the store for warranty and they did NOTHING!!

Hope it will help those who have GPS Problems..

[Motorola Droid 3] wjones:
I've been doing a lot of research on this but I'm still coming up short on a few answers.

I'm considering purchasing a Droid 3 but here's my particulars:

My personal service is V-dub. Business service is AT&T. Assuming I unlock the Droid3 can I use the V-dub service while I'm stateside and leave the AT&T SIM on-board the device? If so, is it possible to switch between AT&T/VZW service via software?

When I'm traveling international would I be able to switch to the AT&T SIM service without racking up mad billz on the VZW side of the house?

ANyone with some experience on this would be appreciated. If I can't do all this with one device then I'm leaning to buy a Nexus S.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I wanna say you can because your phone allows you to switch between GSM/Global/CDMA.
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
I believe this can work with the XT860 model from canada, the US XT862 however, cannot move between US carriers, but can be used anywhere outside the US

At least, that's what I've gathered from lurking here for a while.

xt860 is gsm only, xt862 wont let you use american gsm networks

Is it because it doesn't do 3G frequencies?

No, is done purposely.

According to a guy at this link Team Black Hat sells a *full* unlock code for the 3's which will allow it. This is unconfirmed but I'm Googling...
[Motorola Droid 3] onethreeteeh:
if i recall correctly, TBH offered a version of the D2G baseband firmware which they'd modified to run on any network, this cost you $100 and you had to mail it to them

i believe Cellzealot has stated that this method wont work on the D3
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
TBH released the band unlock to the public couple of months ago.It is now free. It only works on the oldest D2G radio firmware. Newer firmwares cannot be unlocked since Motorola moved the protection inside baseband which due to locked boot loader cannot be modified. This method will not work on D3 for the same reason.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Using Weapon atm, is there a way to have the Gingerbread and LG cameras installed simultaneously? Modifying the .apk of one of them to read as a standard app eager than a system app perhaps?

Seriously?

Sent from my Calculator with Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
You know what that'd be a good idea. Can't we just change the name of the app itself in the apk files? Somewhere, instead of it Thinking it's camera, can we make it thinik it's Camera2?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I think they already tried that..

Then again, if you're able to install 3rd party camera apps off the market, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
That's exactly what I was thinking. It probably has something to do with what it calls itself (ie, com.android.camera) or something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
If you recompile the app but with a different package name which should be com.android.camera to something else and then try, it should work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Okay, so I decompiled the apk and changed com.android.camera to com.android.gingercamera, recompiled, at it works. Sort of. It installs and runs independent of the normal camera, but it looks and behaves exactly like the other.

I'm on MIUI right now so opening my new gingercamera.apk opens a camera app that is indistinguishable from the MIUI camera. Presumably with the LG cam it would do the same thing.

I stopped caring, but I've attached my apk if anyone else wants to tinker with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Hmm, maybe there's a different apk that it ultimately links to. Hmm, I'll try it out on mine. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
I installed the gingerbread app alongside my lg camera app, and it works fine....I just wish I had the gingerbread camera as the system cam and lg as the secondary camera....skype doesn't seem to work when lg is the system camera

LordButters would it be too much to ask for you to make an installable lg camera app? I'm sure there'd be a lot of people that would appreciate it including myself
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
this is genius cause of the panoramic shot and other little twirks that the LG cam can do... I would love the LG cam as a separate APK!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
I experienced the same. But removed it and reinstalled stock as the default app. LG as secondary would be awesome! :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raufhon:
Hi, I am going to be traveling to one of the not developed countries to work so I was going to buy galaxy tab 10.1 to use it there. There is no way to return or exchange there so now I got issue.

I was going to get one off ebay or amazon. But I heard about oil slick stuff. That every second pad gets this. So what should I do ? I mean i buy from ebay/amazon and then I get oil slick and my pad worth of 400 or more is useless ?

Please guys, I need to buy this or Ipad 2 in a few days. I would appreciate any help or advice from this community from you all.

:cool::cool::cool::cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HybridHB:
Buy it at a local retailer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:

BTW, no oil slick on my UK WiFi Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cmscritic:
I've never had an oil slick issue. Always, always buy from a retailer.. I've had three and no issues. Get the tab, you won't regret it. I have it and the ipad and the iPad just went up on ebay today.. had enough of it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raufhon:
but even the people who bought the new ones , are complaining plus at store it is 499$ thats way too much to take a risk... cuz Im gonna go abroad as I said
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
I have the rings (oil slick). You can't see it when the tab is on, so it's just a matter of whether it bothers you or not. I I personally don't care about mine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raufhon:
does it get bigger? My concern is that I will take abroad and if gets too big then what can I do ?:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] unpuertomex:
We can provide advice but ultimately it is up to you. I've had mine since it came out (gift from the wife) and haven't had a problem with it, my friend recently purchased a BMW had engine issues on the 3rd week, point being that quality issues can arrive to any product at any time. If your that concerned wait until you return back to your homeland and then make the purchase.

My 2¢
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raufhon:
the thing is I am gonna be gone for a year or so :p

damn I am really confused now. I am obsessed about this tab and now this comes up
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FillTheVoid:
I've never had newton ring issues with my Tab. I use it constantly and it travels a lot. I would highly recommend purchasing the Tab and taking it abroad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raufhon:
what bout suggestion? I was thinking to save up and buy from ebay or amazon... or should I buy at the retailer for this crazy price 499 bucks (WOW crazy)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
Buying at retailers doesn't ensure quality. Even some bestbuy stores resell returned items, so go for cheap price.

As for newton rings, even when abroad, if they appear, still the refridge solution should fix the problem.

But really, the choice between an ipad2 and sgt10.1 should be based on your usage needs and OS preferences.

my 2 cents
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HybridHB:
I suggested buying locally so he can check for newton rings before going abroad. I took my sgt 10.1 to europe a couple weeks ago and got newton rings while I was there. The sgt was in my girlfriends bag and i dont know if something was putting pressure on the screen, but it was there when I took it out. I read on here that blowing in the charge port will get rid of the rings, and it did. I have not seen them since. My case of newton rings was very minor though. It was the size of a nickel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raufhon:
I was just wondering does any one know if the latest models of 10.1 that best buy got are with same problem ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
I'm not sure what you mean. Too big? Too big for what? Regardless of how big they are, you can't see them when the screen is turned on, so the size of the rings doesn't make any difference. Mine are about 5" x 2" and I really don't care about them since they don't affect usability.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jojokaizer:
It feels like you just want to hear someone to tell you to buy the ipad.... take a gamble or by the sure bet and be mildly disappointed by the limited ios.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jmitr:
Got mine from the source here in Canada about when it was first available.

No rings, I have the standard samsung case.

Durability.......excellent, as a Pilot it gets clunked around in the flight bag lots, I use the S**** out of it, in fact it has greatly extended the battery life of my desire (which spends waaaaay more time in my pocket now!!!).

I personally love it, I see lots of ipads arounf airport terminals with people playing games on them, me I use my tab for email, word, excel, powerpoint, media (watching movies etc), reading rss feeds (greader), an ebook, internet, everything.

As for the price, it's cheaper than an Ipad, thin, portable, what more could you ask for?

Buy it locally, test it the same day and you won't look back.

tab 10.1 vs ipad

have always been an android guy but the service i am getting from samsung sucks

they have refused to fix the newton rings problem ( although it is a manufacturing defect ) blaming it on the fact that i bought my tablet overseas , i went and bought an ipad and never looked back , my samsung tablet has never been used and i am trying to sell it now as i have had enough of samsung service , complained and wrote to all the magazines , to no avail

be careful with this samsung will NOT service yr tablet in the uk if you have bought it overseas
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cedarman:
samsung galaxy tab 10.1

there is an inherent manufacturing defect in the screen of the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1, in that it develops an oily slick / newton rings( just google newton rings oil slick galaxy tabs and you will see the extent of the defect ) ,when the tablet has been used for approximately a week , this does not affect all the tablets but around 45-60 pct. are affected , I have written to Samsung uk asking for a change under warranty , they have refused saying that because I bought the tablet overseas they cannot repair it .

I may understand some of that , if it was a warranty claim , however as a manufacturing defect this becomes too much ! , I am NOW trying to assemble as many people as possible to mount a legal case against Samsung uk , as they are refusing to repair any tablet that was bought outside their territory and they have known about that defect for a while now

if anyone is interested please let me know and I will send you my pm

This is a Leaked Android Market 3.2.0 ICS. You can download the others versions of ICS apk who's leaked for our phones and tablets like new Google Music and new Google+ from Ice Cream Sandwich (click here, if you want).

So this isn’t the usual easy to download and just simply install over the previous version type of deal so it may take a little trickery to get it up and running — so do this at your own risk.

Instructions:

*You can try to install this .apk over top of your current market, but it may not work. If it won’t, then you will need to be rooted and follow the instructions below.

1. Download the file (Phonesky.apk) to your SD card.

2. In Root Explorer or ESFile Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.

3. Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.

4. Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.

5. Long press on Phonesky.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.

6. Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”

7. Change the permissions to this:

8. Press “OK”, reboot and enjoy the new market.

Give it a try and you should have the latest Android Market, the same instructions should also work on all Android tablets too. You may run into some permission issues and will have to change a few things using root explorer if that is the case so head on down to the source link for full details.

Nothing to change on the UI.

Download Android Market 3.2.0 ICS
