[HTC Amaze 4G] uzk:
Actually the battery is very bad, as suck as my sensation. I think it doesn't change a lot after rooted
[HTC Amaze 4G] gravis86:
All rooting does is give you root access like access to system partitions, etc. It doesn't affect battery life in the slightest, and anyone who says differently doesn't know what they're talking about. I also have not noticed any preinstalled apps eating battery, either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] biccio:
I know rooting does not affect battery...I believed many people were supposed to remove all the T-mobile bloatware. By default, there are too many applications running and I wanted to know if that was giving a small or a big jump in battery life. On my MyTouch 3g (ok..old generation) only My Account from T-Mobile was eating a lot of battery...so I removed it.

I have followed the Seidio battery post...I probably will buy that one in case I feel I can't live as it is. My biggest hope was to root and use Llama or Juice Defender to make the phone in 2G while is in stand by...but I don't like these solutions.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Can someone post some screens of v20a to here?

I wonder how's different on the interface between v10(2.2.2) and v20(2.3.4)
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
There's no differences on interface.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
no different but only the OS core is changed?

is there any picture to show?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Changed kernel and other system aspects. At this moment there's no interface differences.

You can install test 2.3.4 (V20a) and check it by yourself. HERE's link to that test version.

But, IMHO, for now it makes no sense to compare stock retail 2.2.2 to EARLY TEST version of 2.3.4. Let's wait for final version of GB and compare them.

Maybe today I will flash this test GB and make screenshots.

EDIT:

Screenshots from test 2.3.4 V20a.
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
no difference on the interface ?

what a lame :(
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Well we have been given optimus UI v 2. 0 on stock froyo.

So I think with GB we will be given optimus UI v 3. 0 right? Though I've heard both UI are almost same..
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Maybe. Only LG knows...

This TEST GB is rather old now and maybe because it's "TEST" id doesn't contain Optimus UI 3.0.

Let's not speculate but patiently wait for final release of GB.
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
what;s different between 2.0 and 3.0 UI?

any pictures? :)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
The different is... version number! Better wait stable cm7 or (hopefully) miui. Lg launcher ui sucks.
[HTC Incredible S] biomech91:
I'm trying out a Sense 3.5 ROM at the moment, and the camera noise is even worse than it was with MIUI (and that was pretty bad).

Is there any fix for this yet?
[Captivate General] RandomZero:
I was attempting to flash back to stock (2.2) using odin3 1.85 but I messed up and now my phone goes to the phone yield PC screen.

I can get into download mode, but odin one click doesn't do anything besides "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)" after clicking start. All the boxes are blank though..

Am I completely screwed here?
[Captivate General] RSTLNE:
As long as you can get into download mode, you are not completely screwed. Open up odin 1 click first and then plug it in. I would use a different USB port. I screwed up once by placing and flashing an infuse rom on a captivate but odin 1 click to jf6 worked for me. Another time I got that phone yield computer screen too, created a jig and flashed to jf6, master clear and reflashed.
[Captivate General] RandomZero:
Ok, I've been reading over various threads and a lot of them say they have to keep trying to get it to work so I guess I'll keep doing that.

Thanks for the reply, makes me feel better :)

And I fixed it :)
[Captivate General] mediumsteak:
once upon a time I flashed t mobile vibrant firmware onto a bell vibrant. instant gg, cst me 100$ at the local phone store to fix. ha ha
[Captivate General] ptera:
Messed up flashing .. cannot get to download

I have a similar and may be a worse problem.

I started out with a perfectly fine factory installed Captivate Froyo 2.2 UCKB2.

I tried flashing using Adam Outler's Heimdal install for Gingerbread 2.3.4.(UCKH3).

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238093)

Everything was fine until I actually started the flash .. it went on to copy the pit file but spat out an error Loading the Kernel. And now I have a Phone--!--PC no matter what I do.

I tried the button combo, the button+USB combo, the button+usb+battery combo, the adb reboot download thing, but to no avail.

Have not tried any of the "Jigs" yet. Nor have tried the Unbrickable Mod (skilled soldering on the board is a little too much for me). Don't want to deal in hardware unless absolutely necessary.

Any help in getting me to download mode is really appreciated.

EDIT:

WOW ... I was never able to get into a download mode, I connected the phone to the PC with the right drivers, ODIN3 was able to detect the device, Hiemdall was also able to detect the device connected, so I went on to flash the phone with Hiemdall (even though it was not in the download mode [still showed phone--!--pc] ) AND IT WORKED ... I WAS ABLE TO FLASH SUCCESSFULLY .. I am on Gingerbread 2.3.4 now ... !! Flashed without the bootloaders ! Thought I should share it with all ... !!
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
The phone--!--PC screen is (in a sense) download mode. Just try flashing again from that screen.
[Captivate General] ptera:
Thank you JMTheiss

I did just that and it worked great... Thanks .. although I did it before I saw your post.. I tried it out since ODIN3 and Hiemdall were both "seeing" the device connected and I thought it was worth a shot.

Thank you for the comment though, I would have definitely returned here had it not occurred to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Hi

I installed the MIUI rom on my S2,and to cut a long story short i decided to change to another rom, due to the camcorder not working and the phone getting very hot.

I thought i would follow this guide theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-android-2-3-2-on-samsung-galaxy-s-leaked-rom

I thought it looked nice an easy.:o

I followed the guide to the letter,and now my phone is dead.:mad:

It doesn't matter what button combo i try the phone wont switch on at all it is completely dead,the 3 button press,vol. down + Home + Power.

Volume UP or Down + power,the power button by itself,nothing will bring it back to life.

The battery at the time had 98% charge in it when it died.

The phone wont even show on the pc,nor will it charge through the pc or wall charger.

Is there anything i can do? Or is the phone dead?:(

I eagerly await your replies.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkmx2000:
You may need a jig to kick it into download mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Will that actually work mate?

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xethor:
This is because you have installed a Galaxy S ROM on a Galaxy SII. How you did not realize this is beyond me. Anyway, the only thing you can do is to order a USB Jig and see if that will put it into download mode. Otherwise, your phone is dead.

EDIT: To answer your question "Will that actually work", I don't think we can say for sure. I give it a 40% chance of working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
@pemmarajut

I never even noticed that mate until you pointed it out.....oh dear:eek:I guess that's what happens when your old:rolleyes:

If a jig won't work will a samsung service centre get it working?

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
Well samsung service center will get it working since they have all the necessary tools to jtag it. You could make one too if you are well versed with hardware, just search it up. Anyways samsung service center might find out about the custom roms on your device so you will have to pay to get it repaired.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Yeah i know mate, I'm not bothered about paying for service center repair.

Anyone know how much Samsung take for JTagging a phone?(Is that the correct term?)

I will try the USB jig method first,I'll order one from the bay.

Many thanks for your help guys.

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Right guys i had a look on ebay for the USB jig,and one guy says this in the item description:

"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not

display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo

when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you."

Does that mean the jig wont work for my problem?

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
You shouldn't be installing a Galaxy S 1 rom on your SGS2..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
doubt the "rom" flash killed it , what killed it probably was flashing the i9000 pit file.. meaning the jig wont help u at all, you need a jtag now.. build your own (hard) or Samsung service centre.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Yeah i know that now mate....It's an expensive painful lesson.:(It wont happen again.:p

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Any guides on how to jtag bud,is it easy:D

Worst case scenario is the service center...Do you know how much samsung charge for this,is it very expensive?

Much obliged.

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
uhm i have no idea, ive only ever seen videos of the jtag, have no idea how you would even begin to build one... its like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7le4GmxZs

Honestly!! id call samsung and pretend that i was updating my fw through kies and that happened, if you actually admit you were messing around in odin they will likely void your warranty and charge you.. Before anything else, call samsung first id say. much easier method than the jtag stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
I'm not the original owner of the phone mate,so a claim on warranty is out the window.

I don't mind paying for the service,after seeing how hard the Jtag thing is:p

I actually found that video that you linked too,after watching it i would say it's not a DIY job,not for me anyway.

The company in the video offers a JTag service for 75 bucks,just under £50,have you or anyone else heard of them before,would anyone recommend them,are they reliable,i would be grateful if anyone could advise me on using this service.

Cheers

George
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unleashed12:
hmm, nah ive never really heard of them, id say just try to google the company and see if they are any good... the comments on the video seem pretty happy..\ then again, comments are just comments. Wonder how much Samsung would charge for the repair (seeing as you said you cant claim warranty, maybe they can repair for you) as it would be better than trusting some random third party.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brigton boy:
Yes mate i know what you mean about third party repairers,I've had good experiences with most of them luckily.

I'm a bit dubious of sending the phone to the US (I'm in the UK) it's a long way.

I tried phoning the 2 service centers near me,but both are closed:mad:I'll contact them tomorrow,hopefully it wont be too expensive.:D

Much obliged for everyones help,i appreciate it guys.

Cheers.

hi there i had the same problem i flashed i9100 with i9000 pit and i got hard brick like you. I call to the service center and it would come about 100€. Then i found for mobiletechguy.com i send them the phone about ten days ago and in about 2 days ago i got their email that is completed and that they send the phone back to me, will see in about 2 or 3 days when i got it back.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cool_story_bro:
Has anyone had any problems with PowerAmp on their bionic? Sometimes it stops playing when i have it connected to bluetooth headphones :( . Tried playing around with all the settings to no avail. the only way i can get it to play sometimes is by ticking the box that says play when connection resumes to BT. Basically what it does is play but it produces no sound. I've contacted the DEV multiple times and no responce :(

basically from someone else with the same problem

"I start playing PowerAmp

While a song is playing, I'll switch to another song (either by swiping or by pressing the "next" button)

I'll switch songs a few times, and after a few (7-10 songs) the audio will stop coming out. However, the timer will still advance, so the player thinks that the song is still playing.

During this time, all other sounds work normally, just not PowerAmp. The workaround is to kill the task using the stock task manager and then restart PowerAmp.

This is a hugely annoying bug on an otherwise great program. This bug makes it borderline unusable. It never used to happen on my old DroidX, so I'm not sure if it's related to the new phones, or if an update created this bug."

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboooe:
I have a profile that will turn off wifi after one minute if

display off context is true (Wif-Off).

I also have another profile that turns on the wifi if the following

contexts are met (Wifi-On):

1. Location is near home

2. Day is Fri, Sat, Sun

3. Time is 7am - 11:30pm

I created a task (Wifi Turn On).

When I first run the Wifi-On profile I see it as active my

notification bar and wifi is turned on. Once my phone screen is turned off I

assume the Wifi-Off profile becomes active and turns off wifi.

However, when I turn on the phone again, wifi does not turn back on?

Why? Does it not turn back on because the context has not changed

thereby not causing the profile to go through the Wifi Turn On task? I tried adding a display on context to the Wifi-On profile hoping it would make the profile run the Wifi Turn On task but adding this context prevents the profile from ever becoming active for whatever reason.

Is there I can make these two profiles co-exist? I would like to keep wifi turned off whenever not is use to save battery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
Did you add an exit task to the Wifi Off profile? So that when the screen comes on, wifi is enabled...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboooe:
Thank you for the reply. The problem with adding an exit task to Wifi Off profile is that I dont want wifi to turn on all the time, which is why I created the Wifi On profile. I only want wifi on during certain times and days and while I near my home. For example, I dont want wifi to turn on while I am at work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagar:
How about Keeping your wifi on profile, and setting your wifi sleep policy under advanced wifi settings, to turn off when screen is off. Then just set up an exit task to turn wifi off when your "on" criteria is not met.

Honestly though I think it saves battery to just keep wifi on, even when screen turns off, so your phone is not constantly checking for cell signal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
Using the "cell near" context won't use much extra battery I don't think? I use it for my location based profiles.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagar:
Yes you are right about that. However I am referring to when he is actually connected to wifi, I've read it actually saves battery to just let it stay connected rather than turn off and on again depending on screen state.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
Ahhh I see :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboooe:
Hmmm...gotta test to see if this is true.

http://m.androidcentral.com/android-101-save-battery-keeping-wifi-alive
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboooe:
Nice article..however I think in my case it makes more sense to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. Even at home, my phone spends much more time off than it does on. I also have my phone to not sync emails, data, etc only on demand. So I think for me, it save battery to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. However, that is still good information.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagar:
In that case the wifi sleep policy should work for what you want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboooe:
So whats the difference between turning off wifi and having wifi go to sleep?

EDIT: forget it...did a little google search...so wifi sleep and off are the same thing.

Okay Today I Decided To Flash My Rom From The Rom I Was Already Flashed To On My Huawei U8150, "Dronix 0.4 The Fastest" I Tried Flashing To Cyanoman V2. I Did My Backup And Everything, Everything Was Normal. But When The Phone Was Booting Up With The Cyanoman Bootscreen It Said In The Notification Bar "Preparing SDCard" Then it Froze.. I Thiought Nothing Of It. Restarted It. And It Happened Again.. And Again And Again. So i Snooped Around The Internet And It Said To Format My SDCard.. Since I Couldn't Get ANY Acess To The Phone. I Formatted It In The Clockwork Recovery Boot Thing.. And Now There Is NOTHING On My SDCard.. When I Plug It Up To The Computer It Has A File Named "LOST.DIR" When I Select It, It Brings Up A File In the Paper Format Named "4" When i Downloaded the Stock Rom On My Computer To Transfer It to The SDCard It Prompted Me "Disk Is Write Protected" ... In Addition When i Boot up The Phone Normally It Still boots With The Cyanoman Bootscreen And when It Finally Boots Up It Prompts Me With "Complete Action Using, --> com.android.provision. or Setup Wizard" Then It Freezes And I Cant Select Anything.. :(( Thanks In Advanced If Anyone Can Help.

Theres people asking moto on there facebook page if the atrix 2 will get ics. I also told then the og atrix people want continued support for the og atrix. Heres what they said. Like · Comment · 3 hours ago

Motorola We'll be releasing devices for ICS 6 weeks after Google releases the final version of it. What do you like most about your ATRIX 2 so far? Have you tried the universal lapdock?

Motorola We'll be releasing devices for ICS 6 weeks after Google releases the final version of it

So pretty much same answer too both they have no plans to issue ics updates.just new devices with ics
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Unlocked bootloader + Cyanogenmod = continued support. Many of us got this phone because it screamed future proof, and its got more than enough power for ICS. Even if not through Motorola, the Atrix will get Android 4.0.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Maybe no ICS. Maybe yes ICS. Why the f start a new thread?!
[Atrix 4G General] silver03wrx:
Moto knows what there going too do. They have known for awhile why so cell phone companys feel that we do not. Have. The right too know these things. Better communication would be a much happier consumer.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
The Atrix is still in GREAT SHAPE!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, people are STILL BRAGGING about their Nexus 1s. How old is that phone?

We have an unlocked bootloader, which will guarantee us some version of ICS (official or not who cares)

IMO the problem started when the Atrix 2 came out. (Which is not even a true Atrix successor)

If the Atrix 2 never gets released, none of these topics would be popping up.

Everything is fine, and there is a TON of life left of the Atrix... ;)
