No, what I mean is the new HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade was released couple months ago.

I'm currently on Android 2.2 Froyo, but I'm wanting to update to gingerbread 2.3, but at the same time I want to be able to install custom ROMS.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Flashing an official release will unroot your phone and replace your recovery. There are many custom roms based on this release that if you flash will not unroot your phone or replace your recovery like the RUU said.

So like I said in my last post..

You can flash a gingerbread custom rom, yes. Just look in the desire development forum.

All this information is a basic requirement to being rooted. I am surprised you don't know this.

What gives? Before mango my device would show me notification for a new email from my yahoo account on the lock screw, hotmail shows fine. Now that I have updated to Mango it doesn't show me a notification for a new email for my yahoo account on the lock screen. How can I fix this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Did you re-add your email accounts? How many do you have? It will only show 2 icons besides your live account. Linked inboxes count as one icon. So if you have 4+ email boxes you will only see the first 2 added after your live account. It goes in order of account creation during setup.

5 icons on front screen:

1. calls/voicemail

2. txt/mms

3. live/hotmail

4. next email

5. next email.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
I only have two email accounts
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Not sure then. Did you try removing the account? I would remove it, restart your phone then add the account back.

Curious if anyone else has a issue with there phone not charging while plugged in?

The orange indicator light comes on, in the settings shows it's on AC power, but does not charge.

I have tried numerous cords, chargers, outlets and batteries with the same results.

Just had the phone replaced by Sprint to verify was not the port.

Running CM7.1 with Tiamat 4.1.0, using battery monitor widget that shows it's discharging while connected.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcllcr:
Hello all,

I have seen reports that because the source code for the captivate has not been fully released, some of the processes cannot be put to sleep when they are not being used, and therefore causes bad battery life. I am just about to flash CM 7.1 and am curious to know how the battery life is on the captivate.

All info is greatly appreciated!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcllcr:
Jaye,

This happens frequently when flashing a new ROM, you should try wiping the battery stats or giving the ROM a few days to calibrate with the battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Been a week for me and battery life is still horrible. I lose about 25% an hour
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaanhoot:
You should try a custom kernel like glitch or Neo to see if that will help. I get awesome battery life in miui which is bases of cm7. I find that neo gives me the best battery life.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Yeah that's pretty awful. Try doing a battery calibration to see if that helps. It should never go that quick (unless you're playing some serious games). I've never really had great battery life with cm7/miui I've had the best battery life with all the recent samsung gingerbread leaks. I think those are better than cm7. But that's my opinion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
I am in CM7.1 since Sunday. I had very awful battery in start. So I did battery calibration, manually. So I got very decent battery on wifi. But at work I use att data so again my battery life was horrible. But I am seeing improvement since I am using this app called green power to manage my data. Try that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
If you get good battery on WiFi but not with mobile data, try a different modem. Not only are some modems inherently better on battery, but if you find one that gives you a better signal you should see improvements in battery life as well.

Solid Battery Life w/ Stock Kernel

Hey Everyone,

Juts came to report that I have been getting great battery life using the stock kernel. I would say it is a little better than Serendipty VII Build 2 which I came from. Only issue, and this is something I know is inherently wrong with Cyanogenmod on the Captivate, when you fully charge the device, it only shows it is charged to 98%.

Other than that, all good!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cypher123:
Have you seen an improvement in this regards, I am having the same issues, the WiFi is draining my battery slower then my data is.

I have also done the battery calibration and it doesn't seem AS bad... still doesn't appear to be great though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antharr:
I am just coming back to this ROM after experiencing battery issues even though Glitch helped a little. I decided to try and tweak some more this go round.

I am experiencing much better results this time. Here are settings and other tweaks or modifications I have in place.

-sync is turned off

-using Launcher Pro with very few widgets (just 3GWatchdog and Power Control)

-auto brightness turn off manually adjust according to need

-gps, wifi, BT, and data turned off when not in use

-wifi notification and location detect off

-installed jk4 modem (may get better results with different modem depending on your area)

-installed Glitch v12 high leakage

-the biggest factor this time I think is UVing on the Freqs that are used while phone sleeps >>>>>100/200mhz (set for the lowest UV setting possible on these that do not result in a sleep death or reboot when phone is put to sleep)
[Xperia Play General] romcio47:
Hello.

I was working outside for more than 8h and at that time phone was lying in the sports bag covered with some clothes. When I turned it on the battery temp. widget showed 5 degrees Celsius (in fact it was cold).

The first problem was the screen - it showed some artifacts, random RGB pixellation when waking up and while writing SMS screen just froze and only touchscreen worked, had to turn the screen off and back on to get it work.

After warming the phone to 20 degrees the screen started to work properly with no problems but 1 hour ago something started to piss me off. Touchscreen started to self-detects touch points even when I don't touch the screen. It appeared for the first when I slightly pressed "delete character" button (I use better keyboard 8). That maked touch screen to work horribly and pressing random keys near delete, 3 or 5 times per sec for a second or two...

I've already tried factory reset and even reflashing the ROM (stock nordic 2.3.4) but the problem is still occuring.

Any advice? ...
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Common problem with no apparent fix.

A way you can make it better is to install Swype, which is how I've got around the same problem on my phone.
[Xperia Play General] LemonPlusTea:
I get it in the morning after sleeping in my 24 degrees room everynight...

Normally have to bring it out of my room for 5 minutes or so and allow it to function again.. If not a restart normally works..

Phone works fine if im using it while the aircon is on though, presumably because the phone is generating heat to counteract the cold ._.
[Xperia Play General] romcio47:
Yesterday I got pissed off, grabbed the phone and started to heat it with hair dryer and then polished it with a cloth and everything is right with the touchscreen (maybe there was some dried sweat on the screen I know some guys who had this problem and sweat was the one who caused it).

But random pixellation and screen freezes are back. I think the problem is with the screens' ribbon cable because sometimes when I slide my phone it freezes for a few secs. I remember I've slided the phone when it was very cold, maybe something wrong happened with the ribbon cable. I have to disassemble the phone and check it out.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Sounds like a trace amount of water damage perhaps from condensation while in your bag.
[Xperia Play General] romcio47:
Fortunately NO!

The problem was with the flex cable connecting down part of the phone with the upper part. It's partially broken, probably it happened because of cold wires and my sliding.

This ribbon connects everything from the upper part (LCD, camera etc.) so it needs to be replaced. I'm gonna see if any of my towns' repair centers are able to fix it.

edit: Professional diagnosis:

Interrupted flex cable connecting upper part with the bottom part - two most left pins broken, screen shows constant "random RGB pixellation".

Bringed my XPLAY to the authorized SE repair center and waiting for the ppl there to fix my beauty...

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cygnus56:
Hello!

I wonder if anyone has been able to find a music player really worth it, I said why I tried several like the power amp, ubermusic, and the new app ics, but all have the same problem.

Try playing with the volume button, go up and down the volume quickly and see as there is a pause in the song or degradation (noticeable only with headphones), and this does not happen with the player as standard. Now tell me then stick with the standard player! But it always bugs me when I'm presented some time playing the same artist when I press the back button instead of sending me to the library just sends me to the main desktop, this happened to me many versions with different roms bone is samsung a direct bug ..

samsung player also has a millisecond pause after each song which is annoying me!

Someone tell me if they feel the same? that all players have this defect by changing the volume?

Greetings!

Its really good
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cygnus56:

any idea?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Xalies:
I have been using doubletwist and it is pretty good
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cygnus56:
at the end I did not find any that do not have this error when the volume up and down maybe for some it is annoying as it is almost imperceptible but for me it's really annoying ...

try, PowerAMP, ubermusic, doubleTwist, pro player, and no bug fixes that the only thing is you do not have the samsung home player ...

that samsung does not fix the bug in your player at home, when you're playing a long time to one artist and you want to switch to the press only sends you back to the main menu, this is a general problem right?

you do not mind being some time after playing an artist can not access the tabs artists albums and genres?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ImWarped:
Open the app via the app app drawer, or put it on your home screen. If you open the app via widget, or the status bar toggle, it will back out to the home screen instead of going to Artist/album etc... It's not a bug, it's a "speed" feature... if you enqueue an album, the assumption is you are only going to need to skip back and forth within your selection.

If you open the app instead of using the status bar, you won't have this problem.

It's true , but not true at 100% that you can have a "11 days battery"....

And you was wrong one thing: don't set the min at 122Mhz , sometime , if you set the min cpu at 122Mhz , you can get "blackscreen bug when unlock"

[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Perhaps the biggest battery saver is the underclocking;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Whyzor:
Actually the underclocking would only affect the battery when the phone is being actively used. My idle usage is about less than 1%/hr with just cell signal. 1-3% per DAY in airplane mode. It has more to do with NOT having any apps that keeps the phone awake (wakelocks).

I think something got lost in the translation. The phrase "up to 11+ days" implies that your mileage may vary and it's possible to get up to 11 days, not 100% certain. Not many things in life are 100%.

If you have extra services/apps running in the background, waking from 122 mhz might be slow. But if your phone is clean like mine, I never have trouble waking to answer call or other actions. Interactive/X governor ramps up the CPU frequency pretty quickly.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metacircle:

There's a bug in the battery stats screen, I don't know how long my display on time is, but it's usually just on when I'm using SMS, call, web browsing.

I'm guessing there's an app that keeps the phone awake and not going into the deep sleep mode when the screen is off.
