[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeski27:
I'm wondering if anyone is able to successfully view video content on the full desktop version of ESPN.com via their 10.1 tab. I used to be able to do this, and I don't know if its a Flash 11 thing, but now I cannot. I have also performed the "working Hulu" libflashplayer.so mod, which does get Hulu working, but not ESPN.com (and it always used to fix both sites). And actually it appears that none (or at least very little) of the usual flash content, like adds, etc, on the ESPN site are working (just comparing what I see coming up on my tab's screen to what my desktop computer's browser is showing).

This is a site that I frequent for video content all the time, and I'm going crazy trying to figure out what the deal is. Tried different browsers, etc, but no dice so far :confused:

Update: you know it looks like there is just an overriding issue with Flash on my tab right now. I'm not even getting any basic Flash advertising content working on any websites. For example, I went to Travelocity's website, and it was quite clear that a ton of the small Flash advertisement pieces were not functioning. Not that that is specifically the problem, but it clearly indicates that Flash in general is not functioning properly.

Hi,

I recently installed ffc on my vibrant but the picture is blurry. According to various posts I tried adjusting the focussing ring of the ffc to focus the image but I am unable to rotate the ring. The ring looks like very thin piece of plastic to me and I tried rotating it with tweezers but it wont budge. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N_B:
I know this is going to sound dumb, but are you SURE you got that camera hole completely clear? I know some people were able to do it quite easily...but mine looked visibly blurry (after the black came off) for about another hour kept using more goo gone, more q-tips, more scrubbing with fiberglass brush thingy - went through stages...I thought I'd scratched it at one point, it looked like a tiny grease smear for awhile, looked a tiny bit hazy...or foggy...for awhile.

ANYWAY, eventually it became CRYSTAL CLEAR - I mean absolutely no question - CRYSTAL CLEAR.

I know at least a few others shared this sort of experience - but some had the damn thing clear in minutes. Maybe they are simply "better" human beings than I am. Whatever the case - it's worth checking I think.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbrar:
My ffc hole is not clear but I also tested by taking the picture directly bypassing the hole but still it was blurry. Are you able to rotate the focusing ring.

Hi!

today i wanted to test some themes. i changed the stock for other, and shows me a warning about the size, so i applied anyway and then... the screen got a little curved, i mean if you look the screen the lines are a little lower on the left side and a little higher on the right side.

I did reset the theme back to stock, i changed the rom, and it is still curved.

Can you help me on that? there are some app to calibrate the screen, or another solution to this?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Wrong:
What can I do to get better battery life on my Droid? Battery life seems awful. Less than 15 hours or so on normal usage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] garychencool:
lower the backlight to as low as you can, turn off GPS, WiFi, sound, kill some processes, go to airplane mode, dont multitask.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madi3d8:
is there any software just 1 click to do that ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ebe_robert:
Try Juice Defender :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skumara:
What for buy the phone if you can't use all these features??!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mr.Wrong:
Ok, how can I better the battery life meanwhile I can enjoy the features of my droid？:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evil_fish:
For me, I keep wifi, sync, Bluetooth on 24/7. Then put my 3g to 2g only. Turn off GPS. Let android auto setting brightness. Under the moderated use (few hours of web browsing. Calls less then 30 mins. And half an hour games) it can last one and half days. I turn on GPS and 3G only if I needed. I think besides screen they are the biggest power hunger monsters. 2G is enough to sync your data. If you pre cache your maps. It's okay to use for navigation as well. Hopefully this can help. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Europa.:
Increase Time between Charges:

1. Switch the vibrate function off on your phone, using just the ring tone.

The vibrate function uses additional battery power. Keep the ring tone volume as low as possible.

2. Avoid using unnecessary features.

If you know it will be a while before your phone’s next charge, don’t use the camera or connect to the Internet. Flash photography can drain your battery especially quickly.

3. Turn off Bluetooth.

It will drain your battery very quickly.

4. Avoid using moving or animated pictures or videos for your background. Animated backgrounds will drain the battery faster.

Here are some tips to prolong the life of your battery:

1. Initialize a new battery.

New batteries should be fully charged before their first use to obtain maximum capacity.

2.Keep the battery cool.

Put the battery in the freezer or fridge. (I know it sounds weird...)

Your battery will last longest if used near room temperature, and nothing wears on a battery like extended exposure to high temperatures. While you can’t control the weather, you can avoid leaving your phone in a hot car or in direct sunlight, and you don’t have to carry your phone in your pocket, where your body heat will raise its temperature.

3.Clean the battery contacts on the battery and on the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evil_fish:
I agree with you all but this one. I do not think you need to initialize your li-ion battery. I will post a link to backup myself when I get to my PC.

updated: Here is the link explains about batteries!

http://batterydata.com/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rootstonian:
When I first got my Droid X, it wouldn't last a day. What I did was to FULLY discharge the battery and FULLY charge it (not using phone during charge) and and after about 4 cycles like this, I can get about 2 days 24x7 life on the battery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evil_fish:
That is very interesting. I think this is about Android needs time to learn what is the real capacity of the battery. What you stated actually happens when you flash a new rom. That's also why it usually take a few days to tell the battery consumption when a new fw released. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deleted member 4123551:
Just use your phone as you like, and when you go to sleep, put it on the charger, so you enjoy your phone the whole day :)

At least, that's my trick. I use my Desire S from 6.30 till 22.30 (when i'm awake), and when i go to bed, its around 20 percent on stock ROM.

Your ROM, kernel and radio can really affect your battery life, For example, when i'm on Cyanogenmod, with CM kernel, i can use my device two days, and on the stock Sense 3.0 ROM it lasts one day. Play with these three, and see what fits you best.

[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Do it and don't look back! ;) I was never going to then did so just before 283 was released because I didn't want to go through the rigmarole of having to downgrade to upgrade just to root, and so glad I did because I might have ended up with the 0% battery issue, PLUS it makes things like rooting so much simpler, even simpler than an app imo.

What put me off was something screwing up with the boot loader, it's a natural fear, but with Alejandrissimo and Jinx13 on call (more or less A+J? :p), a fix is only an internet (and required software) connection away. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Ray can't be gingerbreaked, as there is no 2.3.2 available for it.nso there shouldn't be security issues that can be used for rooting a s-on device.

Do you have an issue with really bad echo? I called my wife's cell and she said the echo was really bad. I plugged in a set of head phones and the echo went away. I assume that the echo is caused by the microphone placement relative to the speakers.

Hi, I'm trying to put stock 2.2 back on my Epic and I'm using Heimdall as I don't have my Windows PC here at college.

So I have 1.31 frontend installed and opened, but I cannot for the life of me, find what needs to go under "Heimdall Firmware Package." Where can I find that file? And also for the PIT, I just downloaded the 2.2 tar for the Epic from the XDA wiki, is that the right thing?

Thank you so much!

how much time do you spend on your acer iconia a day?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I almost never use my tab when I'm at home, I rather use my desktop then. Very rarely I whip it out when I'm going to bed and read a little. It's mostly when I'm not at home when I use it, but again, I don't leave anywhere all that often.
[Acer Iconia A500] zitoccr:
Maybe 7 to 8 hours
[Acer Iconia A500] S.J.Onnie:
I like the Iconia but I would rather do my serious PC business behind my 25.5" Ubuntu desktop (much better at typing replies as well:))
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I use mine whenever I'm not at my PC.

I use it while watching TV, relaxing in bed before it's time to sleep either surfing, looking at magazines, reading an ebook or comic or to watch a tv episode that'll lull me to sleep, in the kitchen when I'm feeling adventurous with recipes or to quickly look things up regardless of where I am in my home. I pick it up as soon as some query comes to mind. I use it in the bathroom as well :eek: to listen to music or read magazines.

It's really as important to me as my smartphone is now.

If I consider playing music on the tablet as "being on it" then my poll answer would easily change from 3 to 5+ hrs since I use it to play and stream music to my music system and around my home - and I do that a LOT...during any chores I decide to do or again, while in the kitchen cooking and even when I'm ready for bed. I either load up Pandora or 2Player/Google Music depending on what mood I'm in right before bed and it play music until my Gentle Alarm goes off.

When I'm out on the road I'll use it mostly just to watch Netflix or Crunchyroll if my wife is doing something I don't want to (like going into a clothing store, yeah...I know better than to go with her). So I just use it to connect to my Mytouch4G hotspot and voila! I watch stuff until I have to drive again or I surf the web.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] and_rew09:
My wife has an alarm set to remind her to take time-sensitive medicine every night at 9 p.m.; she noticed that if she doesn't hear the alarm the first time there is no notification that stays on the screen, which has caused her to not take her meds on time. Anyone know how to make an alarm notification stay on the screen or at the very least in the 'notification area' until it is cleared/dismissed?

She has the snooze set to the minimum time (3 min) and the repeat set to the max (10 times) increasing her chances of hearing the alarm in a decent amount of time.

Her phone is unrooted -- and she wants it to stay that way until she is used to Android. She is coming (embarrassingly) from the Palm Treo Pro that she had for over 2 years, so it has been a learning experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RedhddOne:
Not really a fix, but she can always create a recurring calendar events for that time. The calendar event notifications stay there until you dismiss them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] knight4led:
My tab shows MTP connected and a little X on the battery quite frequently. While it is like this, plugging in to power does nothing, as I'm sure that is what the X is for. Also, battery drain appears to be about 1% per hour on standby while like this. Or, sometimes it shows the charging battery status even when not connected. My first impression would be that it is a problem with the connector port.

Anybody else had this happen? Any suggestions? I'm on pre-rooted TW. I'm planning to try another ROM before reverting to stock.

I'm also out of my 30 day return window with Amazon. Think I should try to contact Samsung after I revert to stock? Think I could get a new Tab for this issue?
