Hi everyone,:)

I am using the go launcher but i met a problem.

I found that there is a service called appservice by go launcher and is consuming lots of memory. However, i can force close it and no problem has been discovered.

Can anyone answer me that what is the function of this service? :(

Thx for your help:D
[LG Optimus Black] adaaaam:
I have recently installed Go and discovered my battery draining at an alarming rate. I quickly realized unlike LPP, a service was running. Since I discovered AppService, killing it seems to have solved the battery issue. I hate having to kill it every time though. Anyone else with input?
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
I have also AppService but my battery is good. Try to do this: press the home button and choose Go Launcher EX. After this, reboot so that the default LG launcher doesn't stay in memory. My memory last days. Depend on the use, I think one day I reach 4 days :D (with go launcher ex)
[LG Optimus Black] adaaaam:
Yeah Go's my only launcher, it just drains like crazy. I don't get days with any launcher unless I don't do anything on the phone, in which case id save more battery by simply turning the phone off.

[HTC Sensation] Maeffjus:
Hey guys's,

as I purchased the fabulous sensation and got a mhl-adaptor I'd like to know which format for encoding movies I shall use - I'd like to have them in 720p resolution.

Discussing for a complete movie - maybe 2hrs - so my mkv-files are mostly more than 4gb size which will be not suitable for my fat32 SD - so what would you recommend - I'd like to have it as clear as possible with a crispy picture...

Thanks in advande friends!

h264 yields the best compression available for HD movies. No chance to get it smaller, so I'd suggest you split it into multiple parts...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANNEMAN101:
I'm trying to play an mp3-file located in res/raw.

Problem is that I have a lot of audio that needs to be played dynamically.

This code does work for "mySound.mp3".

mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(main.this, R.raw.mySound);
mPlayer.start();

Whereas this code does NOT work:

String soundName = "mySound";
Uri uri_soundName = Uri.parse("R.raw." + soundName);
mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(main.this, uri_soundName);
mPlayer.start();

I've tried various other syntaxes to get the uri right, for instance:

uri_soundName = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.myProject/myApp/raw/" + soundName);

...but to no avail.

Does anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dan

Hello @ all,

the launch of 4.0 is near and many custom-roms based partially of a nexus device.

i wait hopeful for the first steps :)

a rumour that i see in the internet, that DELL want to be publish a 4.0-based rom for the streak, i can´t believe that.

see you

J. L.
[Streak 5 General] gostl:
Hi Jürsche,

i think there is no doupt dell will not bring out any updates to our devices. don't even waste time on thinking about it. when wishing for a ics-rom the best thing you can do is make one yourself - if you can, actually. The few devs working on streak5 here are doing the best they can providing a working gingerbread to overcome the end of development by dell. So far they are doing an excellent job (which i recommend supporting by a small donation!), but it might happen that we'll never see an ics on the streak5 if nobody builds one (which is most probably not so easy)

gostl
[Streak 5 General] sajibcy:
Strongly agree with u. Dell just left us in middle of the road but in "EOL" site they wrote it was nice journey. Maybe its from thr business side opinion not from user side.
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I actually can't agree with Gostl's assessment simply because the Streak is still available, just not in the United States. The Streak is a new device for some Asian countries so it stands to reason that there will at some point be a Gingerbread release. Ice Cream Sandwich? I don't believe so, but it would be nice to be wrong.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I believe GingerStreak is a dell pre beta release. It will be realeased officially in an Asian country.

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 General] gostl:
Lets hope for the best. But I'd be surprised if they did another leap ahead...
[Streak 5 General] sajibcy:

GUYZ DONT BE IN THOUGHT THAT DELLS GONNA RELEASE UPDATES ANYWHERE IN WORLD

JUST TALKED TO AMYATDELL AND DELL CARES ON TWITTER AND DELL CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE PHONICALLY. ALL I GOT ID THERE WILL BE NO MORE UPDATES FOR DELL STREAK nywhere in the World
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
Its for user side

Guyz don't waste time by waiting for updates officially

Dell simply said LOUD AND CLEAR that dear customers **** YOU
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Firstly please dont YELL IN ALL CAPS,

secondly that's blatently false, dell is STILL releasing the S5 into new markets, it'd be shinanigans to think that they would release into a market and not supply any support for it at all for a new product there.

Dell stopped selling it in the original launch countries, but it still provides support for them there.

Yes it is HIGHLY unlikely for them to release an official ICS, but regardless of support, for a device this old you wouldnt realistically expect ICS for any product it's age.
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
except for the 2, uhm, nexi? nexuses? :D
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Those are the exceptions since google directly makes the roms for them, how many other devices launched with them do you expect to keep being supported?
[Streak 5 General] jitin02:
yes, its been sell in new markets and also its still sold in already markets (like India) its been sell like hell here. Most of owners like watching other ppl mouth open after seeing a phone so so cool (& big for ppl with small phone's :-) )

but i said (in last posts) what i heard The way i heard:-)
[Streak 5 General] Truaim:
Who cares if it's OTA? A custom Rom would still be aweesomeeee!!!

ICS is gorgeous.
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
oh don't get me wrong mate I completely agree with you! i think that zero is the answer, but tb completely h i guess the streak might have the horsepower required to run the sandwich (albeit with a slightly underpowered gpu). as a matter of fact I just replied to topic because I thought "nexi" was a funny word and I just HAD to share my findings.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
For any device with a 1st gen snapdragon or newer or equivilent, ICS will actually make them faster.

GB -> HC -> ICS each include more and more HW acceleration, so anything with an actual GPU would gain from it, at least in theory. Actual outcome depends on the quality of the port/drivers

Hi,

hope it will come for our beloved Streak, but i wonder that can it be flashed with current streak config. , the ICS need more powerful hardware requirement

[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
as a matter of fact it will be running on the nexus s which does not differ that much from the streak specs wise. So i guess the streak can handle it..

How you guys get even 2 days of battery??

I am tired of tryin gall the combinations of settings / kernel / ROMS nothing has helped till date.

I am not able to get battery for a complete day. Freaking it drains it off in 9-10 hours.

There are users who are getting 2 days of battery with wifi/edge on at all the time, with overclocked phone, and many other options enabled. But I am not getting any of these.

My usage includes

* 1-2 hrs of music

* 1-2 hrs of edge

* frequent texting but can be summarized for 1 hr in a day.

* hardly 10-30 mins of calls

* 10-30mins of games

CyanogenMatt 1.1

franco kernel 19.4 gbs v18cfs

InteractiveX 480-600 mhz

all this is normal and way below average usage but still I am not able to get battery life. I hate recharging the phone after every few hours. Have searched forums tried suggestion but nothing worked.

Maybe I am choosing wrong combination of ROM / kernel , I have gone complete clueless now:confused::confused:, any help or suggestion is welcome.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
It is because of usage patterns. Based on your usage, I think its normally for your battery to drain just like that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
Thanks for replying terratrix,

but users are using continuous wi-fi and get a complete day of battery, I dont even use that. AFAIK wi-fi uses more battery than EDGE. Can you suggest me proper ROM+kernel combination?

I installed cyanogenmatt 1.1 thinking it would improve battery life but it didnt.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Well theta because they are using the phone less often. You are wrong , wifi consumes far less battery than edge. Wifi on standby drains minimal battery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
It's mostly about background tasks. Install supercharger and a task killer to kill your tasks on screen off. Then disable unneeded autostarting applications with Gemini or Autostarts. This way I get about 1% battery for 4 hours without using my phone. And I strongly advice you to use 480/YourMaxStable with SmartassV2 as Smartass automatically manages the current CPU frequency. Your brightness should be between 25 and 50%. And also disable any unused at the moment radio (including mobile data).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
how would I disable radio?

do you mean not using radio is disable it??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
Well here's how my phone goes on for 2 days

android assistant

app for cleaning memory every 10 minutes and for killing apps on startup

Advanced task killer

for killing tasks(set on auto kill)

Antutu power saver

which has some good features(puts phone on flight mode at night for few hours)

or use juice defender(has extra features)

try keeping edge/3g/wi-fi/bluetooth/gps off when not using(saves a lot of battery)

reduced brightness(40-50%)

and keep screen off when not in use

also keep OC freq at 729/480 its the best know OC for our phone performance and battery wise

and InteractiveX is well know for battery saving

(i prefer on-demand because of performance and gaming )

the above things help me use my phone for 2 days or i must say 1&1/2 day

with 4-5 hours gaming(3d HD games)

1-2hours browsing the net

few messages and calls here and there

on a full charge and normal usage at the end of the day i have phone battery at 40-50%

:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
A radio is basically a wireless I/O device. GPS, Bluetooth, Baseband, WiFi, FM... - these are different types of radios. They drain power when powered on so if you want battery life you should simply disable the ones that you aren't using at the moment.

@viv_jen: There is no need to autokill every 10 minutes if you don't have unneeded autostart applications. Task managers also drain battery if used too often. It's also a good idea to use the long-press back key feature of CyanogenMod (It kills the currently visible task).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nogav:
To pitch in my 2 cents worth,

I've found wifi uses quite a bit less than edge/3g data on this particular phone.

This phone has shocking battery life, even for a smartphone.

What you are getting seems about normal for your usage. My battery will be between 20 and 30% after 4 hours of music and 3g browsing. Once I stop doing these things it goes down at about 2% an hour on wifi, about 3% an hour on 2g, and 5% an hour on 3g. I ended up keeping my charge cable on me when I go places and actively use the phone, and "topping up" the battery when I'm sitting at a desk or whatever.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
thank you guys for valuable inputs,

could the combination of ROM + kernel also help?

I tried cyanogenmatt + goldenleaf after some of the user suggested that it gives enough battery.

I also heard void gives a good battery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
yep it does

for me atleast:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
@nogav: WiFi drain depends mostly on Tx (Transmit) power. Mostly we receive information from the internet (Which means Rx is way more important than Tx), so after running a few speed tests (Speedtest.net app) at each option avaliable at the Wifi Tx Power app from market I found out that internet speed at a Tx power of 4dBm is roughtly the same as for 32dBm. Also, our device only supports 801.11b/g mode, so internet speed isn't the best thing about Optimus One (Excluding HDSPA).

@droidevil: The thing that drains most battery is Stagefright. It is able to play 520p mp4 videos almost smoothly, but it is a battery killer. Hardware acceleration also increases performance at the cost of battery, but it is reasonably balanced. Other things that depend on roms: number of preinstalled apps. Deodexed apps load faster, and the less of them there are, the faster the phone boots and runs. If you have about 100-200 programs installed, Autostarts, Advanced Task Killer and Supercharger are likely to be used.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
thank you guys for your useful information..

Just raised all urs thanks meter for helping me out..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
Well I have installed android assistant set to auto kill on every 10 mins.

Installed gemini and stopped the apps which are set to open on boot.

brightness is the minimum

480-728mhz with InteractiveX

so far 12 hours have passed by and have 50% left

Normal texting, gprs browsing, music no games though.

Lets see how far can I pull it off.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Nonono, don't use autokill, they are just crap, not needed, they drain more battery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
I have installed void forever to see whether it helps in battery performance.

The ROM itself is very fast, just wondering which kernel will best suit the rom to give the desired battery performance.

Any suggestions please..!!!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rubyiris:
My LG optimus v running iho cm7 only gets about two hours of battery through normal use.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] viv_jen:
franco

and use interactiveX governor(if you want for battery)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidevil:
franco's CFS / BFS?

I have read around that fserve's kernel also gives good battery...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
IMHO, actually your battery drain is actually pretty good for a usage like that, I am using more or less the usage of yours and everyday I have to charge.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ms.Dummbunny:
I promise i searched "nandroid" but only result that came out was someone who flashed gingerbread kernal on froyo nandroid (something i would do...lol)

I've flashed my Vibrant and EVO a million diff ways from Sunday (i don't know too much, just enuf to get me in BIG TRUBBLE but luckily i have never ONCE seen that dreaded yellow triangle...lol

Anyway, here's where i am confused:

I rooted my Infuse, i installed unzipped modded 3e recovery, i flashed Recovery i9000 thru ROM MGR, then flashed into recovery thinking there would be a "nandroid backup" option and there isn't....

I don't want to flash Infused or any other ROM, i just want a nandroid backup option... Is that possible?(and if so, s-p-e-a-k v-e-r-r-r-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y...lol

You can back up your current rom by either booting into red CWM recovery, select Backup and Restore or open up Rom Manager and select Backup Current Rom option, and there you go.

Did you re-install packages "twice" in recovery to get cwm

Holy MIUI Batman!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ms.Dummbunny:
nope, i didn't reinstall pkgs even ONCE...lol...was i supposed to? i should do it and then do it again and then "nandroid" will appear as an option?

ty!

Ms D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I'm guessing the recovery you are booting into is blue (which isnt really recovery) reinstall packs and you should be in green CWM recovery,

It won't say "nandroid", but you will have the option for "backup and restore" which is basically the same thing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ms.Dummbunny:
yayyyyy it worked... Did it twice, 1st time it doesn't do it like u said (wonder why- wait! don't tell me...lol)

Don't know why i never saw anything before about that reinstalling pkgs to get it to the green screen, i guess cuz i always flashed a ROM that had it cooked in it maybe? But this time around i don't wanna flash any ROMS, i got it running perfectly just rooted and with a few tweaks : )

thanx sooo much : )

Ms D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LG_iiNsTiiNcT:
No problem that's what were here for. Re-installing the packages is what changes the recovery ie 3e and cwm

Holy MIUI Batman!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Wow you messed up on the West part of the process but got through the hard stuff, a little ditsy but nothing to be too ashamed of.

You did better than most guys who ask questions. Actually the girls usually do. Next time just get heimdall (more reliable than Odin and its easier to extract.tar dukes for Odin to use in heimdall than to create .tar files for use in Odin for custom stuff). And flash a voodoo kernel. Trust me its easier than what you did(fewer steps) and once gingerbread is out you will have to do this to root. Soc will no longer work with 2.3.3 or newer.
[General Questions and Answers] thintin:
Hi.

I wish to either add a gadget to my existing handset or replace the handset with a new one in order to have a hardware keyboard.

I'm a writer and I used to do 90% of my writing on my phone, or at least I did until I changed to handsets with touvhscreen keyboards (Sony ericsson Xperia Arc and previously the HD2); now my writing frequency has dropped considerably.

I want to remain with Android (I'd prefer a handset that is actually designed for Android) and I'd prefer to keep the high specs of the Arc but I really want a hardware keyboard. I've looked at wifi keyboards but they seem a bit bulky (like carrying another phone!)

Ideally an Arc with a keyboard would solve my problems but failing that any other handset you can think of which has a large screen, a good processor, good RAM and either tons of internal memory or micro SD slot AND a hardware keyboard would be great.

Option 2 would be to find a very slim wifi keyboard about the same size as the Arc that I could carry around.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Cheers :-)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssan:
I tried to root my Motorolo Xoom 3G however after appliying fastboot reboot commend the device stays at the screen where Motorola logo and Dual core technology are.

The device is not responding any commend that I applied via PC.

I am able to enter fastboot protocol.

Here are the commends that I applied.

1 - adb reboot bootloader

2 - fastboot oem unlock

3 - fastboot flash boot boot.img

4 - fastboot reboot

After I applied all these commends , in MsDOS screen there were fihished text.

What should I do to start the device system again?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
You can manually reboot by pressing volume up a power and holding until it reboots, then when you see the red dual core screen tap volume down and then volume up. You should be back in 'starting fastboot protocol' again. Make sure you have actually unlocked. Try fastboot oem unlock again and if it gives you instructions on the Xoom screen, follow them all. It should reboot into the os...skip all set-up steps except go into settings /applications/development and make sure debugging is checked. Then reboot back into fastboot and continue with what you are doing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssan:
I unlocked it again however still it stucks at the Dual core screen. Is there any other operation to start the system.
