[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackingreasyBBs:
My new-to-me Desire is currently running CM7.1, and I'm trying to get a handle on how it uses the battery and the best settings and all that. The issue I'm having is that if I leave the wifi on for a day (with sleep policy set to "Never" as recommended), it's always listed as one of, if not the, biggest battery user. Spare Parts reports that the "Wifi on" is at 100%, which is expected, but the "Wifi running" is also at 100%, which seems wrong, and also seems like it would waste a lot of battery.

My Moto Milestone displayed numbers that made more sense in similar usage (100% wifi on, %25 wifi running, for example). So is there some setting I'm not seeing or something? I don't think there are any rogue apps that are constantly sending data and causing this, though I guess I'm not sure. They're the same apps that were on the Milestone, and they didn't cause any issues there.

Any thoughts on this?

BTW, kernel is listed as 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-geb50077, radio is 5.17.05.23.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
How much do you use your phone (how long is the display on)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackingreasyBBs:
Not a huge amount in a normal day. For instance, it's been unplugged for about 8 hours today, and Spare Parts is showing that the screen's only been on 13 minutes. Why do you ask?

Edit: Of course, it's on more when I'm at home and not working, I suppose. But still probably 1-1.5 hours of total screen on time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I suggest to turn WiFi off and only on when you need it. If you do not realise any better battery drain, I would say there is nothing to care about.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackingreasyBBs:
Well, with wifi off, the battery life is of course much better. I'd just rather be able to leave the actual radio on without it running constantly. Just seems odd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stackingreasyBBs:
To close this one out in case someone finds it in a search:

I reformatted and repartitioned my sd card (for unrelated reasons) and flashed GingerVillian, and the problem has not reappeared. So...I don't know, but I'm glad it's gone :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] kolk11:
Can anybody help me out here,

I want to recover my wave after several succesfull flashes with bada 2.0 so it will be updatable through Kies. I've already flashed back to bada 1.0 and 1.2 but kies tells me there is no update. I used firmwares for my specific region but that didnt work even when I use the CSC preconfig of my country. Also tried to change the register in kies (older versions) but this also didnt work. Can anyone help me out here

My original productcode was BAAXEN but is changed to BAAKOR.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiestec:
I've had my GS2 since launch and had Litening Rom pretty much weeks after that.

I've not flashed anything in the last 4/5 weeks but I keep getting the following problems

1. Black screen when waking phone up, soft keys light up and vibrate, so the phone is on but the screen is black. This is my main problem! Sometimes the status bar will show and is draggable but the rest of the screen is black. Sometimes the phone wont turn on and is quite hot. If I restart the phone I can do what I like but soon as I leave it for a few mins I cant get back on. It's also produced a black screen when the screen is on just by me touching the screen.

Its not overclocked it running stock voltages, I unistalled Go launcher and various other apps, I've restored it to a month old back up which I've used before with no problems, this gave me lots of FC's which I sorted but the black screen problem and not being able to get the phone back on without restarting is still present... I've tried re-flasing Litening Rom, I've tried a different kernel and I've wipe all data/factory reset etc etc...

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Your best bet is to go completely back to a stock ROM ensuring everything really is wiped/factory reset, don't restore anything at all and see if you still have problems. If you're unable/unwilling to do that, you're probably best posting in the Lite'ning thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flemmingski:
Is all support gone from Litening Rom thread? It think you can get more help over there.

I was too slow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiestec:
I don't think it's the rom. It's been stable at 6.1 for months.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Fantastic. Well I wish you good luck troubleshooting then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiestec:
I'm not ignoring your advice, I will try restoring the stock rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon135:
how many apps installed? I have this kind of black screen problem since 2.3.5. It is caused by having more than 300+ apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiestec:
Never had that many, did a full wipe so I only have stock apps at the minute.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh0stpirate:
hey guys came across an interesting discussion! i cant post in dev boards yet... however, this guy provides some answers, maybe some of the elders may want to take a look. EDIT: i cant even post an outside link :( read code box i guess...

Hi All,
I've spent some time today dithering on the Nexus S and host mode and I think the way to approach this is different from the Nexus 1 host driver hack.
The Nexus S uses a Fairchild USB switch (fsa8480) to detect device connections. I believe the point is to allow the device to handle multiple functions like charging, UART and USB access simultaneously.
The Switch will detect OTG connections. Plugging in a microB to A convertor with pin 4 grounded to 5 causes the fas9480 driver to wake up and report an OTG attachment. It also calls into the S3C_UDC_OTG driver to configure it up and create a vbus session. (start charging)
The problem is that in the Nexus S kernel, this driver is device mode only. There is no code to put it into Host mode and the chip can only be in Host or device mode. It can't do both at the same time. Also, the few people that have tried to use host drivers have found that they must disable the device code (including charging capability) to get the hubs to enumerate.
It appears that the OTG core in the samsung part is from DesignWare. There are synopsis reference drivers up here:
*************check edit reason for driver link*****************
The register map appears the same, and the code supports host and device mode as well as dynamic switching based on HNP negotiation.
It seems like the best way to approach this would be to integrate this code and use the fsa9480 discovery as the hook to force host mode (when OTG is detected) or device mode when other devices are detected.
The demo we were under the gun to support will probably just use Nexus one, however I thought the rest of you guys would want to see this. I think if done right, you could have host mode, gadget mode and charging all in the same kernel.

I've been lucky enough to snag a Viewpad 10e from Argos in the UK... Struggling to find any forums specifically for this pad though.

In a nutshell, its a great piece of hardware for £200 slightly let down by stuttery software. Very iPad like but with Android gingerbread.

Anyone else out there have any experience with this tab yet? Anyone know of any plans for it to get it's own forum/development community?

Cheers.

Dude, return the tablet right now. Boycott viewsonic!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviesteve78:
Its been over 24hrs with new toy now. Will be posting a review soon. I honestly like the look and feel so much that I'm selling my Galaxy Tab 10. I'll have some money left over as well cause the Viewpad is so cheaply priced. All that extra processor power is not needed for me, I basically use the tab for web browsing, a few notes, check the weather and the kids play angry birds! This pad is definitely suited to the job.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thangcuoi:
Ditto. For that price, you are better to go with a much wider support device like the Kindle Fire or Nook Color. Don't expect your new toy to get any substantial update to improve it beyond what it is now. The gTablet community has already been bitten by Viewsonic false promises. Your device will most likely had the same fate.

PS: a no name brand tablet from China can do all you want at an even lower price. Did you choose Viewsonic for the peace of mind of a name brand? Viewsonic don't make their own tablet. They outsource the manufacturing, the software and the support. All they really interest in is take your money.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviesteve78:
Honestly, I was really impressed by the response I had recently from their support dept. I really like the device and I have been through a few to say the least. Seems like it could be quite hackable and I may just use it to learn some new programming skills myself! (If I can drum up some support). In my experience, every forum/thread has loads of people frustrated by lack of support from the manufacturers/resllers but for me, the point of these forums is finding help... Ill keep my fingers crossed that the OEM is discovered soon and after that finding some hacks should get easier.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revision78:
Third warning about Viewsonic, their products suffer longevity shortfalls. I am now the 3rd person telling you they have the consumer integrity of a wombat. Don't hold your breath waiting for anyone to pick it up and think it will be differently. So many people got burned via the g tablet and it's abhorrent lack of updates from the manufacturer (which when it comes to things like drivers etc for future OS upgrades becomes a critical part of the equation) not many people who have been around the android block are going to make another purchase from Viewsonic so you could very well be alone for the foreseeable future in this purchase. I don't even like having a Viewsonic monitor on my desk at work anymore. Again, take what you are hearing at face value, Viewsonic + android = meh. I enjoyed my g tablet when i purchased it and it does almost all that I need but I hoped for more and have gotten less. Keep it if you like, but 6 months from now when you are looking at another tablet you are going to be hard pressed to find anyone to buy your Viewsonic. The poor reputation flags are there already.

Keep in mind, Viewsonic is the same company that came to XDA saying they wanted feedback and input from this community about the g tablet. That was spring of this year and not a single thing has changed. They did that one firmware update in April and since then it has been nothing but pushed changes that then get pulled back.

Keep it if you are happy with it, I just wouldn't expect anything in terms of a large community ever coming of one of their devices.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temporarily_insane:
It's been almost a year since they promised they'd release an update. Every time I've asked them about update, the only reply I've gotten is "we're working on it." I dare you to find any report of a different response than that.

Viewsonic needs to go back to producing nothing but display monitors and projectors. This company is not ready yet to play with the big boys in the computing market.

US vs UK - not exactly the same...

I'm very keen on the Viewpad 10e myself. Has anyone tried out the multimedia side of it? it would be great t be able to play 1080p movies, etc. By the sounds of the 3D stuff that comes with it, it should be a decent GPU in it, would be nice to know how it does.

Custom ROM

Does anyone know how to install a custom ROM on the device?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guvno:
Hi all

I'm thinking of getting one of these too. But I'm a bit concerened about the 'dated' SC A8 CPU and the dated OS?

Some of the things I will want to do on this is video calling using Skype (yes, I know there are other alternatives, but it has to be Skype) and playing DivX/Xvid movies and some .MKV movies. Could anyone tell me if it will be good enough? I am quite impressed by the dimensions and the screen, but if the specs can't keep up then I'm thinking of a cheap and chunky Tegra 2 tablet like the POV which is actually £10 cheaper and I'll put a custom ViewComb 3.2 ROM on it...

Any suggestions/opinions?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafiahmedbd:
Does anyone know how to root the device?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] av02:
Just got one for my daughter.

First impressions : well-made bit of kit with a great IPS screen. worth it for the hardware, I would say.

Moon reader pro is great on it, as is perfect viewer for comics and pdf's.

Can't get the video calling working for some reason. Anyone had any joy with this ?

Have tried Tango and Fring. In both cases, the FFC doesn't seem to switch on. You can see the the other person on it, but they can't see you.

Also, with Tango, the mic is switched off, and can't be switched back on.

Some sort of firmware shenanigans going on here. Had a quick chat with Viewsonic customer support just now, who will email me back.

Bit concerned by the negative comments on this thread !

Wanted the archos 101 as HMV were doing it for £129 , but just missed the boat, and then this came to my attention in Argos. Hope I haven't landed a dud !

Well, so far, have managed to get all her bits on it. Their version of market is a bit limited, but there is enough to get you started. Go launcher was a must, after having it on my Galaxy S2 phone, and it seems to cope ok. Formatted some of her films as mp4's and the shipped 'vortex player' handles them well.

Video calling would have been icing on the cake really.

Oh yeah, and whatsapp functionality, but there are ways around that I am looking into now.

Overall so far - promising.

Root and custom rom's would really maximise this thing's potential.

Oh yeah, and won't talk to my macbook pro over bluetooth- first device ever to do that.

Viewsonic customer support

Called viewsonic yesterday. They said their technical support people would email later in the day. Emailed again today and got a prompt reply.

They say this thing has been thoroughly tested with both Fring and Tango, and works fine. They have asked me to ring them on the customer support telephone number, which I shall try to do tomorrow, so that they can go through my various settings, firmware version, etc, and hopefully get it all going.

If that proves to be the case, then that will be better support that a lot of other, larger companies I have had to deal with in the past.

Will let you all know how it goes.

Well, I got Skype video calling working on mine, but the video image (of me) is twisted 90deg clockwise, if I rotate the pad the image rotates as well, I simply can't get the video right, I've tried playing around with the settings in the camera and stuff but still no luck...

Also, is it just me or are some web pages "studdering" a bit when scrolling, no doubt this is due to the "slow A8"

Such a shame to put a nice IPS screen on a slim and nice pad and ruin it with slow HW
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revision78:
It's their MO, they do everything half-way. The g tablet is just the opposite, crippled screen and great processor. :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] av02:
skype sort of works

Ha Ha you're right, guvno.

Skype works but image is 90 degrees to the right, and the mic keeps breaking up. A friend has bought this now, and confirmed the same. Did the viewsonic fix - factory reset and reinstall apps to run off sd card where possible. nil fix.

He was kind enough to then say they will exchange, but having seen your post and what my friend's is doing, know now that it is firmware.

Another response from viewsonic : check camera > settings > enable .

No such setting exists !!!!!

Think they may be confusing with the 10S, which looks more capable. The guy I talked to last week admitted they had only just received the manual for this one.

To be fair, they are trying,, but now not really interested in sending it back and getting more of the same a week or two later. Gonna talk to them again today, quoting exact software version.

Again, for my ;ittle girl, who I know will love it for what she does.

Ref the stuttering browser - try dolphin browser - seems to be ok. in imobile market.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guvno:
Yeah, unfortunately I've hear that Viewsonic are not the greatest at fixing issues with their products... So anyway, I actually returned mine to Argos and got my money back, even though it is "excluded from their 30 days money back guarantee"

I tried the Opera browser which was slightly better but then that doesn't work with youtube, and you have to open youtube link in the normal browser... No, unfortunately, I think it is quite simply the tired old A8 CPU that Viewsonic ruined this othervise nice pad with... Shame to waste a nice screen like that too.

Anyway, I've now ordered a POV Mobii 10.2" Tegra2 pad, with a capacitive screen for £188. That can be flashed with a custom HC ROM and then things will be spinning nicely.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guvno:
So, now I've got the POV and I flashed it with a custom ROM and it is now running HC and I can access the official market and all. Really nice tab. I must say though... I do miss the IPS screen on the 10e...

update on video calling

Hi all.

Ok, viewsonic just released a firmware update - still no video calling.

Seems to be a touch faster, especially when booting up, but otherwise, can't see any real improvement to the device.

Viewsonic still insisting I should send it to them to fix, but have talked to several people now who can't get the video calling working, so can't see the point. Another email from viewsonic : " go to settings>camera>enable ". No such setting exists !!

A bit of an update on what does and doesn't work :

VTOK, a google talk app, works, but image is upside down !!!

Clearsea - no image, but mic works.

ooVoo - no image, but mic works.

Tango - installed a later tango version. Mic now switches on/off ( used to be off and unable to switch back on ) , but still no image.

Fring - no image.

Skype - still 90 degrees rotated to the right.mic is overloaded/or low gain.

Have talked to a guy who claims to have re-assembled the Rom and made video work, but still beta testing at the moment.

Will let you all know what happens.

Would just like to restate, that for everything else that it does, and the great screen, will be keeping this. A custom Rom is not far away.........!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guvno:
Hmm, I've installed the new ROM and that actually fixed my "rotation problem" The Skype app has however been "removed" from 1Mobile App Market indicating that Viewsonic may not "want to support it" But as mentioned, mine is now working...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] av02:
Skype now works

Thanks for that, Guvno.

Didn't retest skype after the software update, but will try it later today.

Just need one of them to work.

What's frustating is that they ALL work correctly on my Samsung Galaxy S2, running albeit a newer version of gingerbread, but more powerful hardware.

If samsung thought it best to implement dual core cpu with lots of ram on a phone, what was Viewsonic's thinking behind a beautiful IPS screen, and outdated hardware ?

Ho hum. Will keep trying the various video calling apps too. the imobile market is tailored to the Korean/ Taiwanese market and depending on your search string, you do get some unique results, compared to android market. Wish the descriptions were in English though !!

Thanks to your perseverance, will now retry all the video calling apps again, to double check useability.

Cheers.

Also, will try to keep all updated on any custom rom releases.

Posted in this forum, but in another thread about whether I could install viewcomb on this.

My question ( sorry, real noob ! ) :

My nephew rooted the viewpad using superoneclick.

I then unrooted as a result of the software update.

However, if I root again, why can't I follow the software update procedure, but instead of putting the viewsonic zipped software on the root of the SD card, I put a zipped custom rom of, say, viewcomb on instead ?

Is this a valid way of installing custom roms once the device has been rooted, or is a software update different to a custom rom interms of content, signing, etc ?

I would appreciate an answer from experienced people.
